Introduction

Background

This document has been created to assist the UK certificated Initial Air Traffic Control (ATC) Training Organisations in mapping and referencing the training objectives for the national requirements.

This document is designed as a reference document for certificated Training Organisations who are certificated to deliver Air Traffic Control Officer (ATCO) initial training courses approved by the CAA. It has adopted the format of the EUROCONTROL’s Specification for the ATCO Common Core Content Initial Training (ECCCS), edition of 21 October 2008 and lists the relevant rating performance objectives taken from the UK national requirements as laid down in CAP 624 Air traffic Controller – Performance Objectives Part 1 Aerodrome Control Visual (ADV), Part 2 Aerodrome Control Instrument (ADI), Part 3 Approach Control Procedural (APP), Part 4 Approach Control Surveillance (APS) and Part 6 Area Control Surveillance (ACS). Part 5 Area Control Procedural (ACP) is not included in this document as there is currently no demand for ACP training in the UK.

Initial training comprises basic training and rating training. The object of initial training is to lead to the issue of a student licence or the issue of an additional rating.

The subjects listed for each rating is taken from the ECCCS in ADV, ADI, APP, APS and ACS. The Basic annex is not included in this document as there are no additional national objectives for Basic and the ACP annex is not included in this document as there is currently no demand for ACP training in the UK.

The subject heading and general objective have been copied from the ECCCS.

The national training objectives follow the same format and construction of the ECCCS using the action verbs as laid down in EUROCONTROL CCC specification as repeated below, also included are additional action verbs which have been agreed by EUROCONTROL and will be published in future updates of the ECCCS.

If there are no national objectives for a subject, a statement to this effect is included below the subject general objective.

CAP 794 Foreword

August 2013

Where national objectives have been listed the full topics of the subject from the ECCCS have also been listed even if there is no objective included for that specific topic, this is to allow an immediate visual indication of what topics have or do not have national objectives.

Training organisations may also find useful EUROCONTROL’s ‘EATM Training Progression and Concepts’ which classifies the training phases for Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs) and Air Traffic Safety Electronic Personnel. It defines the concepts used in the specification of training and in the support of training design.

This document essentially contains topics which are common to all ratings and normally, compliance with it is required only by providers of Initial training. UK Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) may assume that the training received by any student licence holder who has received their training from a CAA certified Initial Training Organisation will have completed the Eurocontrol Common Core Content syllabus as appropriate to the UK environment, for example, UK legislation and procedures. Such training will also be completed to the level as defined in the Terminal Objectives published for initial training courses. These terminal objectives are published in CAP 584 Air Traffic Controller – Training.

In this document, reference to the male gender should be understood to include both male and female persons, except where inappropriate.

CAP 794 Purpose of CAP 794

August 2013

Purpose of CAP 794

This document has been created to assist the UK certificate Initial Training Organisations in mapping and referencing for compliance and audit.

To assist in distinguishing between a national training objective from an Eurocontrol CCC training objective the national training objectives are referenced by a Capital letter.

For the purpose of UK national requirements all content listed is compulsory. This ensures that all certificated initial training organisations who have UK approved courses complete the same syllabus for standardisation of national requirements.

Courses

UK courses submitted to the CAA for approval must demonstrate that the course includes all the training objectives both EUROCONTROL’s Specification for the ATCO Common Core Content Initial Training (ECCCS), edition of 21 October 2008 and UK national requirements as listed in this document. An acceptable means of compliance would be the Eurocontrol Mapping tool.

The composition of these courses shall ensure that as a minimum, all the objectives from the relevant syllabus selected are satisfied. Courses may include additional objectives that are deemed necessary by the training organisation.

Any of the syllabi may be combined to provide a single course. If a basic course is being combined with a rating course then the Training Organisation shall ensure that the training objectives are taught in a pedagogical manner i.e. that a basic training objective is met prior to the rating training objective.

Language Proficiency

The reader should note that, although language proficiency is a prerequisite to licensing and is included in ICAO Annex 1, the subject has not been addressed in the common core content. UK requirements are detailed in CAP 624 Part 16 and the process for English Language proficiency assessment detailed in CAP 584.

Denomination of the Learner

‘Learner’ is the generic term for the person performing a learning activity without any reference to his statute.


August 2013

In the case of ATCO training, the specific names according to the training phase are:

�� Participants in initial training are called ‘ab initio’ as they do not hold a student licence

�� Participants in initial training who are training for an additional rating are called ‘trainees’

�� Participants in unit training are called ’student air traffic controllers’ when they hold a student air traffic controller licence and ‘trainees’ when they hold an ATCO licence

�� Participants in continuation training or development training are called ‘trainees’ as they hold an ATC licence.

Eurocontrol Common Core Content Specification

Below is a copy from Eurocontrol CCC specification of the taxonomy levels and action verbs, the list also includes new action verbs which will be included in future updates of the ECCCS. This document does not absolve the Training Organisation from the necessity to be familiar with the ECCCS in particular the main body of the document, especially:

8.4 Specification Structure

8.5 Syllabi structure

8.6.2.1 Application of taxonomy levels to practically based objectives.

The above list is not exhaustive and emphasis is placed on familiarity for this document.

TaxonomyA taxonomy is a classification based on explicit principles. The purpose of taxonomies in the training domain is to classify training objectives. The CCC defines 5 ‘Levels’ of knowledge and/or practical competence, together with the action verbs applicable to each Level, as shown in the paragraphs titled ‘Levels’ and ‘Action Verbs’ on page 12 of this document.


August 2013

LevelsFive levels are identified, numbered 1 to 5 plus an initial level (named 0) of pure information. They are defined as follows:

Level 0 ‘To be aware of’.

Level 1 Requires a basic knowledge of the subject. It is the ability to remember essential points; the learner is expected to memorise data and to restore it.

Level 2 Requires an understanding of the subject sufficient to enable the learner to discuss intelligently. The individual is able to represent for himself certain objects and events, and to act upon these objects and events.

Level 3 Requires a thorough knowledge of the subject and the ability to apply it with accuracy. The learner should be able to make use of his repertoire of knowledge to develop plans and activate them.

Level 4 The ability to establish a line within a unit of known applications following the correct chronology and the adequate method to resolve a problem situation. This involves the integration of known applications in a familiar situation.

Level 5 The ability to analyse new situations in order to elaborate and apply one or other relevant strategy to solve a complex problem. The defining feature is that the situation is qualitatively different to those previously met, requiring judgement and evaluation of options.

August 2013

Determining Competence by Assessment

In order to determine competence an Assessor seeks evidence of performance (of the ab initio/student/trainee) both by direct observation and by reference to the training records. Assessment differs from an examination system by taking a longer, more detailed view of performance, rather than taking an intense but short sample of the student/trainee’s work. Performance is assessed in all areas under all conditions seeking to prove that the student/trainee can perform reliably and consistently to the required level of competence.

Performance must be assessed against the Performance Objectives on sufficient occasions to ensure competence has been demonstrated across all the Conditions for which performance evidence is required. Where performance is tested in only some of the contexts in the conditions, the application of knowledge must be tested by questioning for the remainder.

All items listed as Content must be tested to prove an understanding of the knowledge, the underlying principles and the application of the knowledge to performance in the workplace. A student/trainee who demonstrates practically that he can do the job and can explain his reasons for acting in a particular manner, thereby demonstrating understanding, has fulfilled all the requirements without the need for additional written testing. It is essential that the Assessor determines understanding, rather than pure knowledge, when determining competence.
