REQUIREMENTS FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS CONCERNING PERSONNEL TRAINING AND COMPETENCE ASSESSMENT (Part-PERS)

SUBPART A — AIR TRAFFIC SAFETY ELECTRONIC PERSONNEL

Section 1 — General

ATSEP.OR.100 Scope

(a) This Subpart establishes the requirements to be met by the service provider with respect to the training and the competence assessment of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP).

(b) For the service providers applying for a limited certificate in accordance with ATM/ANS.OR.A.010(a) and (b) and/or declaring its activities in accordance with ATM/ANS.OR.A.015, the minimum requirements to be met with respect to the training and the competence assessment of ATSEP may be determined by the competent authority. Those minimum requirements shall be based on qualification, experience and recent experience, to maintain specific equipment or types of equipment and ensuring equivalent level of safety.

ATSEP.OR.105 Training and competence assessment programme

In accordance with ATM/ANS.OR.B.005(a)(6), the service provider employing ATSEP shall establish a training and competence assessment programme to cover the duties and responsibilities to be performed by ATSEP.

When ATSEP are employed by a contracted organisation, the service provider shall ensure that those ATSEP have received the applicable training and competences foreseen in this Subpart.

ATSEP.OR.110 Record keeping

In addition to ATM/ANS.OR.B.030, the service provider employing ATSEP shall maintain records of all the training completed by ATSEP, as well as the competence assessment of ATSEP and make such records available:

(a)

on request, to the ATSEP concerned; and

(b)

on request, and with the agreement of the ATSEP, to the new employer when the ATSEP is employed by a new entity.

the subjects, topics, and sub-topics contained in Appendix 1 (Basic training — Shared); and

(2)

where relevant to its activities, the subjects contained in Appendix 2 (Basic training — Streams).

(b) A service provider may determine the most suitable educational requirements for its candidate ATSEP and, consequently, adapt the number and/or level of subjects, topics or sub-topics referred to in point (a) where relevant.

ATSEP.OR.210 Qualification training

The qualification training of ATSEPs shall comprise:

(a)

the subjects, topics, and sub-topics contained in Appendix 3 (Qualification training — Shared); and

(b)

where relevant to its activities, at least one of the qualification streams, contained in Appendix 4 (Qualification training — Streams).

ATSEP.OR.215 System and equipment rating training

(a) The system and equipment rating training of ATSEPs shall be applicable to the duties to be performed and include:

(1)

theoretical courses; and/or

(2)

practical courses; and/or

(3)

on-the-job training.

(b) The system and equipment rating training shall ensure that candidate ATSEP acquire knowledge and skills pertaining to:

(1)

the functionality of the system and equipment;

(2)

the actual and potential impact of ATSEP actions on the system and equipment; and

(3)

the impact of the system and equipment on the operational environment.

ATSEP.OR.220 Continuation training

The continuation training of ATSEPs shall comprise refresher, equipment/systems upgrades and modifications, and/or emergency training.

Section 3 — Competence assessment requirements

ATSEP.OR.300 Competence assessment — General

A service provider shall ensure that ATSEP:

(a)

have been assessed as competent before performing their duties; and

(b)

are subject to ongoing competence assessment in accordance with ATSEP.OR.305.

ATSEP.OR.305 Assessment of initial and ongoing competence

A service provider employing ATSEP shall:

(a)

establish, implement and document processes for:

(1)

assessing the initial and ongoing competence of ATSEP;

(2)

addressing a failure or degradation of ATSEP competence, including an appeal process; and

(3)

ensuring the supervision of personnel who have not been assessed as competent; and

(b)

define the following criteria against which initial and ongoing competence shall be assessed:

(1)

technical skills;

(2)

behavioural skills; and

(3)

knowledge.

Section 4 — Instructors and assessors

ATSEP.OR.400 ATSEP training instructors

A service provider employing ATSEP shall ensure that:

(a)

ATSEP training instructors are suitably experienced in the field where instruction is to be given; and

(b)

on-the-job training instructors have successfully completed an on-the-job-training course and have the skills to intervene in instances where safety may be compromised during the training.

ATSEP.OR.405 Technical skills assessors

A service provider employing ATSEP shall ensure that technical skills assessors have successfully completed an assessor course and are suitably experienced to assess the criteria defined in ATSEP.OR.305(b).
