goals of the course.

5.1.4.5              The method of assessment, both theoretical and practical, must utilise qualified assessors and appropriate processes and facilities and must be consistent with CASR Part 65.

5.1.5                   Emergency Training

5.1.5.1              Emergency training to specifically prepare a candidate for unforseen circumstances must form part of all training courses.

5.1.6                   Refresher Training

5.1.6.1              Refresher training is part of the Training and Checking program. It involves periodic training and assessment of individuals performing functions in air traffic services in those competencies (knowledge and skills) which are essential, but infrequently or rarely used (e.g. abnormal and emergency operations, degraded equipment modes, contingency plan implementation). The content and periodicity of refresher training must be sufficient to ensure competency.

5.1.7                   On-going Training

5.1.7.1              The training and checking program must provide for on-going training, as necessary, to ensure that staff are competent in the use of new or emerging standards, procedures, techniques, facilities and equipment identified as essential to task performance.

5.1.8                   Remedial Training

5.1.8.1              The training and checking program must have a process which identifies deficiencies in knowledge or application, and must have a process to ensure these deficiencies are rectified.

5.1.9                   Checking

5.1.9.1              The purpose of checking is to ensure that the individual subject to the check meets the competency standards specified in CASR Part 65, and the ATS provider's own standards where these are additional to CASR Part 65. Checks must be carried out as required by CASR Part 65.

5.1.10              Qualifications of Trainers and Checkers

5.1.10.1         Persons carrying out training and/or checking functions must be appropriately qualified for the functions as required by CASR Part 65.

(c)          the establishment of the levels of safety that apply to the services, and the monitoring of the levels of safety achieved;

(d)         the process for internal safety reviews;

(e)         the process for the internal reporting and management of safety concerns and incidents;

(f)            the process for the identification, assessment, control and mitigation of existing and potential safety hazards in service provision;
