Ok how about the EASA exams why are they divided in category A B1 and B2?

JAR is being renamed/replaced by EASA. Its the same thing in essence.

B1 B2 applies to engineers I think. Don't know about that sort of thing.

Depending on the licence being sought, you will need from the following exams (For Engineer):
1- mathematics
2 -physics digital techniques / electronic instrument systems
3 -electrical fundamentals
4 -electronic fundamentals
5 -digital techniques / electronic instrument systems
6 -materials and hardware
7 -maintenance practices
8 -basic aerodynamics
9 -human factors
10 -aviation legislation
11 -aeroplane aerodynamics, structures and systems
12 -helicopter aerodynamics, structures and systems
13 -aircraft aerodynamics, structures and systems
14 -propulsion
15 -gas turbine engines
16 -piston engines
17 -propellers

different licences, i.e. Category A, B1 or B2 deal with different subject combinations and levels of knowledge. (A Category B1 Licence automatically includes an A licence, whereas a B2 licence does not).
Im sure a quick Google search or a thrawl thru www.iaa.ie or www.caa.co.uk will give a lot more information

Karlog,cat B1 is Mechanical,Cat B2 is Avionics and the CAT A is a line maintenance specific license(mechanic) for stamping for basic defect rectification,transits etc.My route is adding a B2 to an A license,No interest in a B1 although you could probably stamp for more as a B1!!
