Learning Objectives
The course provides professionals with advanced techniques for applying the Instructional Systems Development methodology (ISD) under the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme. This is a complete instructional development workshop with a focus on the practical aspects of developing training and educational programs.
The course will train civil aviation course developers to design and develop Standardized Training Packages (STPs) for TRAINAIR PLUS competency-based training standards by either upgrading existing conventional courses developed by the CATC to become a TP STP or creating a new TP STP.
After having successfully completed the course, the trainees will be able to identify the TRAINAIR PLUS training development methodological standards to:
- Analyse training needs and choose strategies
- Analyse jobs and target populations
- Determine training objectives
- Sequence objectives and group them into modules
- Prepare and validate tests
- Design modules
- Produce and validate training material
- Assist in On-the-Job Training planning and monitoring
Who should take this course
- Experienced civil aviation training instructors and aviation professionals who are dedicated to the implementation of competency-based training programmes and the development of courses with international standards.
- Training managers, supervisors and professionals who want to increase their productivity as developers of training and educational programs.
Pre-requisites
- Experience in one or more civil aviation fields or in human resources development and training;
