Become a certified ATCO Assessor recognized under ICAO and EASA/EUROCONTROL frameworks. This immersive, practice-focused program equips you to plan, conduct, and justify competency-based assessments that strengthen operational safety and regulatory compliance. You will master ICAO Annex 1, PANS-TRG (Doc 9868), and CBTA principles from Doc 10056, while aligning decisions with EU 2015/340 assessor endorsement expectations and your unit competence scheme. Through a clear assessment cycle—Plan → Observe → Record → Evaluate → Feedback—you will gather valid, sufficient, authentic, and current evidence, map it to ICAO competency units and elements, and communicate decisions with clarity and neutrality. The course emphasizes standardization and calibration to control drift, mitigate bias, and ensure reliable outcomes across multicultural teams and operating environments. You will practice observation, questioning, and objective note-taking, and apply structured feedback methods (SBI/EBI) to deliver fair, effective debriefs—even after safety-significant events. A simulation-based practicum consolidates your skills across IFR/VFR, high workload, and emergency scenarios, culminating in moderation and a clear certification pathway. Ideal for current or aspiring assessors, OJTIs transitioning to assessment, and supervisors responsible for safety performance, this course turns regulatory requirements into confident, defensible assessment practice that protects both safety and just culture.

Introduction — ICAO/EASA ATCO Assessor Certification: Competency, Standardisation, and Safety

            <p>Air traffic control relies on competent, standardized, and defensible assessment to safeguard operational performance and public confidence. This course prepares assessors to certify ATCO competence under ICAO and EASA/EUROCONTROL frameworks, integrating regulatory rigor with practical, evidence-based methods. Participants will explore the assessor’s purpose within the ATC safety system, the structure of the program, and the certification pathway, while aligning expectations for professionalism, participation, and the consistent application of Just Culture and Threat and Error Management principles. From initial orientation through knowledge checks and surveys, the journey is designed to build the assessor’s capability to make fair, valid, and reliable decisions that directly support incident prevention and enhance safety outcomes.</p>
<p>The program begins with regulatory foundations—ICAO Annex 1, PANS-TRG (Doc 9868), and ICAO Doc 10056 on CBTA—then sets the EASA/EU 2015/340 context and situates the assessor within the Unit Competence Scheme. Learners then examine the legal and safety obligations of assessment across the training lifecycle, including licensing checks, and develop a deep understanding of assessor roles, responsibilities, ethics, and boundaries with OJTIs and supervisors. The CBTA modules translate the ATCO competency framework into observable behaviors, acceptable evidence, and license-ready thresholds, while the assessment cycle emphasizes planning, objective observation, structured note-taking, and mapping evidence to criteria using the Sufficient, Valid, Authentic, Current model and triangulation.</p>
<p>Building on these foundations, the course develops advanced methods: effective observation without interference, probing and reflective questioning that avoids leading, and objective language that maintains traceability to performance criteria. Standardization and calibration modules address common assessment errors, drift management, group scoring, moderation practices, and multicultural considerations to reduce regulatory risk and promote consistent outcomes. Decision-making modules enable assessors to handle pass, development-needed, and fail judgments, manage marginal performance and variability, document rationales to regulatory expectations, and design targeted remedial plans when required.</p>
<p>Assessment does not end with a decision; it culminates in high-quality feedback and clear documentation. Participants will practice SBI and EBI feedback models, structure productive debriefings, navigate difficult conversations—including those following safety events—and produce professional records that withstand oversight and audit. The simulation-based practicum then consolidates learning in realistic IFR/VFR, emergency, and high-workload scenarios, guiding assessors through full assessment cycles: pre-brief, observation, evidence collection, rating, documentation, feedback, and moderation. Throughout, progressive knowledge checks reinforce mastery of regulatory scope, CBTA essentials, methods, calibration, and safety-compliance integration, while learner surveys drive continuous improvement and readiness for endorsement and operational deployment.</p>
