Once all subject-parts have been passed within one window, an ATPL theory credit is awarded to the candidate, which once awarded, is valid perpetually. If a candidate passes some, but not all subject-parts within a window then they must pass (or re-pass) additional subject-parts until all subject-parts are passed within one window to achieve a full ATPL theory credit.”
