The Role of EASA Related to Regulatory Training

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) sets high-level regulatory requirements that aim to ensure safety and proficiency across European skies.

One of the main goals of EASA is to establish a harmonized set of regulatory standards and procedures for civil aviation in Europe.

It is incumbent on the short-course regulatory training organization to ensure that the training delivered ensures a uniform level of competency across all delivery platforms.

This should mean that regardless of where a professional has received their training, their knowledge and skill sets should be consistent.

Quality Assurance: The Bedrock of Short Course Excellence

To ensure that EASA-compliant short course training programs meet the required standards, a robust quality assurance framework is essential.

• This involves regular audits, evaluations, and assessments of training providers, ensuring that they adhere to the established standards and guidelines.
• Quality assurance also extends to the course content, delivery methods, and assessment procedures, ensuring that they are all aligned with EASA’s requirements and best practices.
• By maintaining high standards in these areas, we can ensure that the training delivered is of the highest quality, providing participants with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their roles.
