Accreditations & Recognitions

JAA Training Organisation (JAA TO) is the only associated training body of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) since 2009. Through the years, JAA TO has earned important accreditations and recognitions, including its current status as the only ICAO Platinum Training Centre of Excellence (TCE) in Europe and active member of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Virtual Academy (EVA).

ICAO Recognitions & Awards

In 2014, JAA TO became the first ICAO Regional Training Centre of Excellence (RTCE) in Europe. Two years earlier it had already become the very first European full member of the ICAO TRAINAIR PLUS Programme (TPP). Learn more about it below.

The UN's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) set up the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme (TPP) to promote training collaboration for the purpose of a safe, secure, and sustainable development of the global air transport. The TPP created the seal "Regional Training Centres of Excellence" (RTCEs, lately know as just TCEs), which is awarded to leading TRAINAIR PLUS Full Members satisfying a series of high-level criteria. Such highly qualified full members are required and enabled to develop and deliver ICAO Standardized Training Packages (ITP) using ICAO provisions (Annexes and guidance material).

In 2022, JAA TO received the new ICAO recognition as TRAINAIR PLUS Training Centre of Excellence - Platinum Member, the only TCE in Europe and 1 of 4 Platinum Excellence centres worldwide.

JAA TO is also a member of the:

ICAO TRAINAIR PLUS Steering Committee (TPSC) - since its inception. The TPSC is responsible for providing ICAO with guidance and advice on the development and improvement of the TPP. For the term 2021 - 2024, the JAA TO CEO is acting TPSC Chair.
ICAO Coordination Group (COG) for the Language Proficiency Requirements Implementation Task Force (LPRI TF).
Training Policy Group (TPG) for ICAO EUR CAPSCA (the Collaborative Arrangement for the Prevention and Management of Public Health Events in Civil Aviation).

Furthermore, JAA TO has already been awarded three prizes from ICAO:

In March 2015, an award from ICAO's Global Aviation Training (GAT) for the highest number of participants in an online Standardized Training Package (STP).
In December 2018, an award from ICAO's Global Aviation Training (GAT) for the highest number of trained participants in the ICAO Training Managers Course (TMC).
In December 2019, JAA TO repeated their success and won the award from ICAO's Global Aviation Training (GAT) for the highest number of trained participants in the ICAO Training Managers Course (TMC) for a second consecutive time.
