I’m a cfi in the states, our form of examination for any sort of license is a checkride. A checkride is when a DPE from outside of our flight school tests someone on two parts, oral, and practical.

The oral portion really goes over everything, you sit there for 2-4 hours and go over everything in details, just blasts questions at you till he thinks you know your stuff.

Practical is you go into a plane with the DPE and do what he says for a few hours.

Is a skill test a checkride with a different name, or are skill tests something else?
