Controller Competence Assessment (HUM - CCA)

Course design
  • This course deals with the processes used within a formal Competence Scheme to evaluate the competence of air traffic controllers for the first operational competency and for continuing competence.
  • The course supports the use of both practical and oral assessment as tools to determine the initial operational competency of a controller and provides participants with the rationale, knowledge and techniques needed to undertake the role of Unit Licensing Assessor.

Course objectives

After completing the course participant will:

  • have an understanding of the current pan-European controller competence regulations and the principles of competence checking.
  • have an understanding of competence assessment techniques and “best practice”.
  • be prepared to undertake further local training in order to take on the role of Unit Licensing Assessor or Local Competence Assessor.

     

Target audience
