Designed for employees responsible for assessing the competency of staff in the aviation industry. Learn about the principles and practices of assessment and use a range of assessment methods to verify employees are competent in their job role. This course is designed to meet aviation industry requirements.

• Aligned with IATA AHM1110 11.2 (GEN10) for commercial aviation.
• Useful to comply with IS-BAH IG 8.1.6 for business aviation.
• Complete by distance learning, available worldwide.

The course will take approximately 10-15 hours of study to complete, most people will finish it within a few weeks. We do however allow access to the course for 6 months if required.

If you add the optional Level 3 qualification, there are additional assessments, including a written essay and additional practical assessments and we allow up to 12 months to complete it.

To complete the Aviation Assessor Certificate, candidates must:

• Pass a short online theory assessment, graded immediately.
• Provide evidence of a practical assessment completed in the workplace.
• Complete a self-evaluation and declaration form. Countersigned by a Manager.

If you add the optional Level 3  qualification, candidates must:

• Complete a written assignment for unit 1. This is approximately 3,500 words, broken into smaller parts.
• Plan and carry out four assessments in the workplace, with at least two different people and two different tasks or topics.
• One of the four assessments will be remotely observed by your ATC Training tutor (typically using a recording).
• Take part in a professional discussion with your tutor and reflect on own performance.

A practical assessment is included, therefore to complete the course the candidate must be in a position to carry out an assessment in the aviation work environment.

If you choose to add the Level 3 qualification, candidates must be aged 19+.  

Please note: course materials are provided in English and the practical assessment must be completed in English.

IATA AHM1110 states that anyone who assesses colleagues should be suitably qualified. This is a new requirement in Edition 44 (2024). This course provides a solution to meet that requirement. 

This may be an existing trainer looking to add a specific assessor qualification, or it may be for an experienced colleague, team leader, supervisor or manager who will occasionally assess the competence of staff as part of their role. 

Why add the Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Workplace?

The Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Workplace is a nationally recognised assessor qualification. This qualifies the individual to assess in any work environment, including NVQs and Apprenticeships. 

The Aviation Assessor Certificate will be provided upon completion of the course, and if chosen, the Level 3 qualification certificate will also be awarded by the external awarding organisation after internal and external quality assurance.
