Organisations whether Operators, MRO or 145’s are increasingly facing the burden of training their employee’s to satisfy regulatory requirements. Both Part M and Part 145 require that employees are assessed for competence and need to be provided with suitable training.
In addition to the general, and on going training requirements, to maintain competence for example by undertaking Part M and Part 145 Training, there is also the need to manage and provide recurrent training in a number of key areas, for example Human Factors, Fuel Tank Safety, (FTS) and Electrical Wiring Interconnect systems, (EWIS).
Unlike EASA Regulatory Training Organisational Compliance where there is no EASA mandate the situation regarding aircraft certification is very different.
Aircraft certification related trainings (Part 66 licensed Aircraft engineer) must be provided by a Part 147 approved organisation where the organisation delivering the trainings is approved to EASA Part 147, Regulatory trainings do not require EASA approval and may in fact be delivered or undertaken in house in which case the trainings need to satisfy the Quality System that they are compliant with the organisation requirements.
So it is the organisations Quality System not EASA which approves EASA “In Company” Regulatory Training.
EASA Regulatory Trainings may also be out sourced to a reputable organisation and just the same as you would manage and approve component stockists for example you should satisfy your self of the reputation and standards of the provided regulatory and associated training.
How to assess regulatory training?
– Ability of Instructors to deliver effective training
– Feed back from your and other delegates
– Request contact information from previous delegates from the training provider
– Conformity and Audit by your own Quality System
– Review of the content of the training and assessment to validate effectiveness
