Assessment of Previous Competence (APC)

Category:

Introduction:

The Assessment of Previous Competence (APC) is a critical process within the aviation sector, particularly for Air Traffic Control (ATC) professionals and other aviation personnel. This assessment is designed to evaluate an individual’s existing skills, knowledge, and competencies against current standards and operational requirements. It is particularly relevant for those returning to the profession after a break, transitioning between roles, or seeking to validate their qualifications in a new regulatory environment.

Course Aim:

The primary aim of the Assessment and Proficiency Check (APC) process is to ensure that all aviation professionals, particularly Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs), maintain the highest levels of proficiency and stay current with the latest practices, technologies, and regulatory changes in their field.

Key objectives include:

  • Identify Gaps: Evaluate participants’ current competency levels against required standards to identify areas where additional training or refresher courses are needed.
  • Customised Training Plans: Develop personalised training plans based on assessment outcomes to address specific gaps in knowledge or skills, providing targeted support to help individuals achieve required competency levels.
  • Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Confirm that participants meet all regulatory requirements for their roles, essential for maintaining operational safety and efficiency within the aviation industry.
  • Support Professional Development: Facilitate continuous professional development by providing clear pathways for individuals to enhance their competencies and advance their careers within the aviation sector.

The APC process is crucial for maintaining operational integrity and ensuring that personnel are equipped to effectively contribute to aviation safety and efficiency. It supports a culture of continuous improvement and lifelong learning within the industry.
