Aspects of harmonisation: • Course name, list of subjects/modules; • Minimal duration of the course/subjects/modules; • List of topics/subtopics with or without levels of acomplishment; • List of performance/training/learning objectives; • Assessment content, procedures, success standards; • Strength of the harmonisation aspects: mandatory, recommended, guidance/orientation only; • Level of training material standardization: standardized core content, standardized set of training documentation, standardized training package; • Requirement for the course approval by the competent authority; • etc.

Harmonisation aspects in civil aviation training

In the given context harmonisation means implementation of the common (on regional or even global level) standards based on the best practices of civil aviation personnel training.

Insentives to harmonisation

ICAO SARPs (e.g. Annex 1 ) Industry Standards (e.g. IATA Regulations and Manuals) Regulatory regional and national requirerments (e.g. Comission Regulation (EU ) 805/2011) etc. ICAO PANS, Manuals and Circulars (e.g. Doc 9868, Doc 7192, Doc 9683, Doc 9841, Doc 9941, Circ 323) Regional and national gudance and reference materials (e.g. EUROCONTROL Guidelines for ATCO Development Training OJTI Course Syllabus) etc.

Advanced regulatory environment

In advanced regulatory environment training requirements are mandatory and detailed, e.g: • Course name, list of subjects or modules; • Minimal duration of the course/subjects/modules; • List of topics/subtopics with levels of acomplishment and/or • List of performance/ training /learning objectives; • Assessment content, procedures, success standards; • Competent Authority approval of the Training Organization. • Competent Authority approval of the Course.

Example of advanced regulatory environment: Member States of European Union (EU)

Features of the training courses based on EU regulatory requirements

EU regulatory training requirements support development of the competency-based training characterized by a performance orientation, emphasis on standards of performance and their measurement. Training objectives are based mainly on the job analysis results. List of training objectives is a result of the consensus of a number of Subject Matter Experts (SME) contributing to the development of the training requirements through the Task Force Groups. Procedures of the development of the EU regulatory training requirements are standardised and assure quality. The courses are updated whenever the regulatory requirements are amended or changed. The courses are well-developed to get an approval from the national Competent Authority.

TRAINAIR Plus methodology applications in the advanced regulatory environment 14

Advanced regulatory environment provides the training requirements detailed to such extent that they can be considered as existing course. Application of the TRAINAIR Plus upgrading process aimed at production of the STPs compliant with regulatory requirements seems very beneficial for the TRAINAIR Plus Full Members. Course improving process incorporating features of STP to produce “STP like” training package is recommended for the training institutions which plan to join the TRAINAIR Plus Programme. This application provides following benefits: - familiarisation of the personnel involved into course development with the TRAINAIR Plus methodology; - practice on some aspects of the methodology for the personnel who have attended TP TDC; - convergence of the local course production process with the TRAINAIR Plus methodology process.
