Narrative:

I am a mechanic for air carrier X. We are required to attend recurrency training on the airbus A-330 and A-320 families. In 2001, 2002, and 2003, I have attended these training classes on consecutive days each yr, one after the other. However, while attending an A-330 recurrency on jun/wed/03 it was brought to my attention that my A-320 currency expired in nov/02. The instructor said that the probable cause was that originally the rosters were sent to ZZZ by company mail and entered there. Because some were lost, he now faxes them and commats them. However, according to our company manual, all of the logbook signoffs and airworthiness certifications that I have accomplished between nov/02 and jun/thu/03 are not valid.
