ED Decision 2021/003/R
RECURRENT, REFRESHER AND CONTINUATION TRAINING
(a) Recurrent training
The recurrent training may be only theoretical and should cover the areas addressed in the initial theoretical training provided. The recurrent training should be designed to review, reinforce or enhance the existing knowledge and skills of the trainees, and should also take into account the changes that have taken place in the content of the subjects covered by the initial training.
Upon completion of the recurrent training, an assessment of the trainee should be conducted.
(b) Refresher training
The refresher training may be only theoretical, and shorter than the recurrent training, and its content should take into account the length of the person’s absence and the magnitude of the relevant changes that may have taken place during the period of absence of the employee.
Upon completion of the refresher training, an assessment of the trainee should be conducted (for the process of the assessment, see AMC1 ADR.OR.D.017(e)).
(c) Continuation training
Continuation training should be provided in the following cases:
(1) A person is assigned new/different tasks
In the case a person is to be assigned to different/additional tasks, an appropriate theoretical and practical training which covers any differences between his or her previous and future tasks should be completed. This differences training should be determined based on a comparison between the training required for the new tasks, and the training already completed by that person, as documented in his or her training records.
The provision of training should be followed by relevant competency assessment (for the process of the assessment, see AMC1 ADR.OR.D.017(e));
(2) A change is introduced to the operating environment of a person, which is of such nature and/or magnitude that it requires the training of the personnel (e.g. a new system to be used by the personnel concerned).
A method should be established and documented to be used for determining the need (or not) for, as well as the type(s) (theoretical, practical, or both) of, training to be provided following changes. The provision of training should be followed by a relevant competency assessment.
