Slide 2
What I’m going to talk about
• Competency Frameworks• Co-operation with our security colleagues• NOTOC• Lithium batteries
Slide 3
Where ICAO is going…..
Competency-based training and assessment.
Training and assessment that are characterized by a performance orientation, emphasis on standards of performance and their measurement, and the development of training to the specified performance standards.
Competency. A combination of skills, knowledge and attitudes required to perform a task to the prescribed standard.
Slide 4
Why we’re going there…..
Pilots were first:
- Perform take-off
- Perform climb
- Perform cruise
- Perform descent
- Perform approach
- Perform landing
Slide 5
Who else have gone through the process
• Flight Procedure Designers• Flight Validation Pilots• Aircraft Maintenance Personnel• Designated Medical Examiners
And soon:• Air Traffic Controllers• Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel• Airport Safety Personnel
Slide 6
And dangerous goods hasn’t escaped…..
• State employees responsible for dangerous goods • Shippers• Freight Forwarders• Operators• Designated Postal Operators
Slide 7
The components of a competency framework
1 - Competency unit. A discrete function consisting of a number of competency elements
For shippers:• Perform pre-packaging assessment of shipment• Pack dangerous goods • Apply all consignment procedures• Respond to requests

Slide 9
The components of a competency framework
2 - Competency element. An action that constitutes a task that has a triggering event and a terminating event that clearly defines its limits, and an observable outcome.
For “Pack dangerous goods”:• Determine packing method• Apply all relevant packing requirements• Ensure only packagings that are properly tested are used

The components of a competency framework
3 - Performance criteria. Simple, evaluative statements on the required outcome of the competency element and a description of the criteria used to judge whether the required level of performance has been achieved.
For “Ensure only packagings that are properly tested are used”:• Ensure packages have been tested in accordance with the
requirements for the specific articles or substances• Ensure articles or substances are packaged in the configuration
as specified in the test certificate
Slide 12
How it looks…
Slide 13
How do we verify understanding/competency?
Currently:• Test to verify understanding, not competence• Last thing we do when developing a course
In a competence based approach:• First thing we do
Slide 14
Exercise
Detail:• 1 Competency Unit• 1 Competency Element• 1 Performance Criteria for one of the Competency Elements for….
A new category of staff………
DUCKMASTERS!
Slide 15
Regulatory quacks…..
Competency Units:• Manage the welfare of the ducks• Give the twice daily performance*
*Competency Elements:• Collect the ducks from their house#• Parade the ducks from the lift to the fountain
#Performance criteria• Ensure the gate is opened without squashing any ducks• Ensure the same number of ducks exit the lift that left the house
Slide 16
Co-operation with our security colleagues
Areas where we can help each other:• Passenger baggage• Reporting of forbidden items• High consequence dangerous goods• Training for security staff
Slide 17
NOTOC – Do we need the technical name?
Slide 18
NOTOC – Do we need the technical name?
