Designed for employees responsible for assessing staff competency in the aviation industry. Learn about the principles and practices of assessment and use various assessment methods to verify employees are competent in their job roles. This course is designed to meet aviation industry requirements.
Candidates may include the Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment (RQF), which is a recognised assessor qualification in the wider education and training sector.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, participants will be able to explain and understand:
- Identify key principles of assessment.
- Conduct an assessment against a defined operational standard.
- Complete assessment documentation accurately.
- Provide feedback to trainees on their performance.
Assessment
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.
Suitability
Who should do this course?
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 staff competence as part of their role.
Pre-requisites
A practical assessment is included; therefore, to complete the course, the candidate must be able to assess classroom or practical training in the aviation work environment.
Certificate
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.
