13. ATCO TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

The training of air traffic controllers must adequately prepare student and/or trainee air traffic controllers for the grant of an ATC licence and/or associated rating(s). Such training must provide the necessary skills and knowledge to an appropriate level of competence to enable student or trainee air traffic controllers to provide an air traffic control service while operating under the supervision of an OJTI. For the purposes of safety regulation procedures, air traffic controller training is divided into three phases: a) initial training; b) unit training, comprising transitional training, pre on-the-job training and OJT; and c) continuation training. HANSA approves courses of rating training and the simulators used on those courses. The requirement for approval extends across the whole range of ATC training courses. The requirements on which ATC training courses are based, are specified in the approved by HANSA Unit Training Plans. That document states the performance objectives that controllers must demonstrate in any particular rating and/or rating endorsement. All training plans are required to indicate the amount of training, if any, that will be conducted on a simulator. The simulator will be approved by the HANSA as part of the course approval process for any particular training



plan. The Training Provider is required to demonstrate how the simulator and the associated exercises will provide adequate support for the particular Training Plan.

PART A

Initial training requirements for air traffic controllers

The Initial Training shall ensure that student air traffic controllers satisfy at least the objectives for basic and

rating training, as described in Eurocontrol’s ‘Specification for the ATCO Common Core Content Initial

Training’, edition of 21 October 2008, so that air traffic controllers are capable of handling air traffic in a safe,

quick and efficient way.

Initial ATC training courses must provide student and/or trainee air traffic controllers with the necessary skills and knowledge to a level of competence that will prepare them for training at operational units and, as a minimum, satisfy the above mentioned requirements. The Initial Training shall cover the following subjects:

Aviation law, air traffic management, including procedures for civil- military cooperation, meteorology,

navigation, aircraft and principles of flight, including an understanding between air traffic controller and pilot,

human factors, equipment and systems, professional environment, safety and safety culture, safety

management systems, unusual/emergency situations, degraded systems and linguistic knowledge including

radio telephony phraseology.

The subjects shall be taught in such a way that they prepare the applicants for the different types of air traffic

services and highlight safety aspects. The initial training shall consist of theoretical and practical courses,

including simulation, and its duration will be determined in the approved initial training plans. Acquired skills

shall ensure that the candidate can be considered competent to handle complex and dense traffic situations,

facilitating the transition to unit training.

The competence of the candidate after initial training shall be assessed through appropriate examinations or

a system of continuous assessment.

PART B

Unit Training requirements for air traffic controllers

Unit Training must provide the student or trainee air traffic controller with the necessary skills and knowledge

to a level of competence that ensures that they are able to deliver safely an operational service at that unit.

Unit Training Plans shall detail the processes and timing required to allow the application of the unit

procedures to the local area under the supervision of an On-The-Job Training Instructor. The approved plan

shall include indications of all elements of the competence assessment system, including work arrangements,

progress assessment and examination, together with procedures for notifying HANSA.

Unit training may contain certain elements of the Initial Training which are specific to national conditions.

During unit training air traffic controllers shall be sufficiently trained in safety, security and crisis

management.

The duration of Unit Training shall be determined in the Unit Training Plan. The required skills shall be

assessed through appropriate examinations or a system of continuous assessment, by approved Competence

Examiners or Assessors who shall be neutral and objective in their judgment. To this end, HANSA shall put in

place appeal mechanisms to ensure fair treatment of candidates.

PART C

Continuation Training requirements for air traffic controllers

Continuation Training must provide the air traffic controller with the necessary knowledge and understanding to continue to maintain that level of competence. Rating and unit endorsements on Air Traffic Controllers’ Licences shall be kept valid through approved

continuation training, which consists of training to maintain the skills of air traffic controllers, refresher

courses, emergency training and, where appropriate, linguistic training.



During continuation training air traffic controllers shall be sufficiently trained in safety, security and crisis management. Continuation training shall consist of theoretical and practical courses, together with simulation. For this

purpose, the Training Providers shall establish Unit Competence Schemes detailing the processes, manning

and timing necessary to provide for the appropriate continuation training and to demonstrate competence.

These schemes shall be reviewed and approved at least every three years. The duration of the continuation

training shall be decided in accordance with the functional needs of the air traffic controllers working in the

unit, in particular in the light of changes or planned changes in procedures or equipment, or in the light of the

overall safety management requirements. The competence of each air traffic controller shall be appropriately

assessed at least every three years. The Air Navigation Service Provider shall ensure that mechanisms are

applied to guarantee fair treatment of licence holders where the validity of their endorsements cannot be

extended.

14. CRITERIA FOR CERTIFICATION OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST PROVIDERS

For the case of English Test Providers for ATCOs the questionnaire in Annex V is applicable.

15. PROVISION OF SERVICES OF THE TRAINING PROVIDER FOR ATCOS

1. Initial, Unit and Continuation training courses, required to obtain the Student Air Traffic Controller Licence, and the Air Traffic Controller Licence ratings, rating endorsements, licence endorsements (Competence Assessor endorsement, Examiner endorsement, Instructor endorsement, OJTI endorsement, Supervisor endorsement ).

Training means the entirety of theoretical courses, practical exercises, including simulation, and on-the-job training required in order to acquire and maintain the skills to deliver safe, high quality air traffic control services; it consists of:

(a) Initial training, providing basic and rating training, leading to the grant of A Student Licence, (b) Unit Training, including transitional training prior to on- the-job training and on-the-job training,

leading to the grant of an Air Traffic Controller Licence, (c) Continuation Training, keeping the endorsements of the licence valid, (d) Training of On-The-Job Training Instructors, leading to the grant of the Instructor endorsement, (e) Training of licence holders entitled to act as Competence Examiners and/or Competence Assessors in

accordance with Article 24 of the Commission Regulation;

The objectives of initial training are described in Eurocontrol’s ‘Specification for the ATCO Common Core Content Initial Training’ developed at the request of the members of Eurocontrol and are considered the appropriate standards. For unit training the lack of generally accepted standards needs to be offset by a range of measures, including the approval of examiners and competence assessors, which should guarantee high standards of competence. This is all the more important as unit training is very costly and decisive in terms of safety. ICAO has developed standards also in areas where there are no common European training requirements. In the absence of European training requirements Member States may rely on such ICAO standards.

16. TRAINING GUIDELINES FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS PERSONNEL

All the candidates for Telecommunications personnel must hold at least an Academic Degree and a Certificate

in English language (Proficiency or Lower Certificate). The various Academic Degree which are applicable are

depicted in the Presidential Decree 118/2008 – Gazette 181/A/2-9-2008.

Following the completion of the recruitment process the new recruits are trained (Initial and Advanced

Training) at the HCAA Training Center (SPOA). After successful completion of the Initial and Advanced Training
