CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

QUALIFICATION AND TRAINING — GENERAL

(a) It is essential for the CAA to have the full capability to adequately assess the compliance and performance of an organisation by ensuring that the whole range of activities is assessed by appropriately qualified personnel.

(b) For each inspector, the CAA should:

(1) define the competencies required to perform the allocated certification and oversight tasks;

(2) define the associated minimum qualifications that are required;

(3) establish initial and recurrent training programmes in order to maintain and to enhance the competency of inspectors at the level that is necessary to perform the allocated tasks; and

(4) ensure that the training provided meets the established standards, and is regularly reviewed and updated whenever necessary.

(c) The CAA may provide training through its own training organisation with qualified trainers, or through another qualified training source.

(d) If training is not provided through an internal training organisation, adequately experienced and qualified persons may act as trainers, provided that their training skills have been assessed. If required, an individual training plan should be established that covers specific training skills. Records should be kept of such training, and of the assessment, as appropriate.
