ED
Decision 2021/003/R
INITIAL TRAINING
(a) Theoretical training
(1) A suitable method (or suitable methods) for the delivery of each part of the required training should be identified and specified in the training programme.
(2) The theoretical training should be delivered at appropriate training facilities, and the delivery of the training should be supported by means and equipment which are suitable for the training area covered.
Computer-based training may also be used, where interaction of the trainee(s) with other persons is not necessary and where the training material has been prepared, reviewed and updated by an instructor nominated in accordance with AMC1 ADR.OR.D.017(h). Where provided, such training should consider human factors principles, and, as a minimum, should also cater for the possibility for the trainees to ask questions and receive clarifications, as well as to provide feedback.
(3) After the initial training, the acquired competency should be assessed. The competency assessment should be accomplished by using identified method(s), appropriate to the training element to be assessed. Assessment procedures should be established, addressing, as a minimum, location(s), identity check and invigilation, and assessment discipline. Computer-based systems may be used for the assessment of the trainees provided that:
(i) the assessment material is prepared, reviewed and updated by an assessor nominated in accordance with AMC1 ADR.OR.D.017(h); and
(ii) the assessment is conducted in a controlled facility and environment and in a manner that physically ensures the identity of the trainees during the assessment process.
(4) Training elements that require individual practical participation may be combined with practical assessments.
(b) Practical training
(1) The practical training should follow the successful completion of the theoretical training and should be provided by an instructor nominated in accordance with AMC1 ADR.OR.D.017(h). The duration of the practical training should be appropriate to the area covered.
(2) A practical competency assessment should be conducted by an assessor nominated in accordance with AMC1 ADR.OR.D.017(h), following the completion of each practical training provided. Assessment procedures should be established, addressing, as a minimum, location(s), identity check, and assessment discipline.
EASA aerodrome regulations mandate structured initial training programs with theoretical and practical elements. Theoretical training requires suitable facilities and methods, potentially including computer-based training with human factors considerations. Competency assessments, using identified methods, must follow training. Practical training, after theoretical completion, requires instructor supervision and practical competency assessment.
