During my training we saw a few videos, but it was eg a 20 minute Hamilton Sundstrand video on how to inspect a propeller.
It wasn't anything for taking a A/P license or AML

The thing is, there is no part 66 here in the U.S. and commercial airline training is not required under part 147. Now, if you want to know what training there is for commercial side of the house here in the U.S, look at the airlines training programs. That's as close as 66 as you can get.
I doubt that part 66 will come to fruition anytime soon. There is/was a NOTAM on the idea of it but it seems that no one can come to an agreement on what should be in it and how to implement it.

Personally I like the EASA system of training for Maintenance personnell based on the modular concept....It gives a good base for students ....however I feel with improvement in technology.....CBTs & Video trainings should have been more, along with the routine book/hardcopy/softcopy trainings available.

I agree with HAWK21M
My plan would be - re-introduce Oral examinations. Perhaps just for Modules 11,13,15,17.
Produce an simple syllabus with an approved reading list.
Get rid of questions on obsolete systems such as LORAN C and other such crap from the database.
As Hawk says, introduce a series of training videos and CBT that EASA has control over and regularly refreshes.
Finally, expand the question database vastly and make sure each and every exam paper is different. Too many people rely on learning the questions parrot fashion and don't learn the subject.
I know it will never happen, EASA is far too busy creating an unfathomable number of regulations to concentrate on the basic and actually improve standards.
It is far too easy to pass the modular exams with minimal knowledge and just time at the PC hammering the question banks on-line. This needs to be stamped out.

Quoting 767eng (Reply 8): introduce a series of training videos and CBT that EASA has control over and regularly refreshes.
Its high time with advancement in technology......these days....that CBTs/Mx training videos are produced in numbers & replicate the studies in the books in a more interactive way....
