Narrative:
I perform as a maintenance controller. Outstation contract maintenance perform maintenance on our aircraft through the maintenance controllers' direction if they are on the trained and qualified list provided by our training department if they completed a familiarization class on the aircraft type. The situation was a gentleman a&P from ZZZ1 performed fault isolation and corrective action per maintenance control and the fault isolation manual and amm satisfactory and signed it off in the logbook. After this event, it was discovered that he is brake ride qualified only with no familiarization qualification class on this aircraft. Per our policy he is not allowed to sign the logbook. He is on the 'T and Q' list but I did not see it listed that he is brake ride qualified only and not B717 trained for the logbook. The training and qualification list does list the proper text, I just failed to see it.
