2  Initial Training 
2.1  Requirement 
Initial training courses must provide student and/or trainee air traffic controllers with the necessary skills and knowledge to a level of competence that will prepare them for training at operational units. Notwithstanding this requirement, the training courses must at least satisfy the ECAC Common Core Content training guidelines, as required by Part A to Annex II of the EC Directive. 
A student or trainee air traffic controller who fails an approved course of initial training may re-take the course. 
A student or trainee air traffic controller shall commence unit training, in a rating discipline in which he has successfully completed initial training, within six months of completing the initial training course. If he does not commence unit training within this period, he must undertake an assessment for previous competence (APC) in that rating discipline and successfully complete any further training identified before being allowed to commence unit training. 
2.2  Initial Training Courses 
2.2.1  Initial training courses are approved by the CAA and conducted by training providers certified by the CAA to conduct initial training, in accordance with the requirements detailed CAP 584. 

2.3  Language Training and Evaluation
All air traffic controllers are required to demonstrate a minimum standard of proficiency to speak and understand the English language.
Individuals who demonstrate expert language proficiency in English, e.g. native and very proficient non-native speakers, do not need to be formally evaluated for their English language proficiency. Expert language proficiency is defined as Level 6 of the ICAO Language Proficiency Rating Scale.
Individuals who do not demonstrate expert language proficiency in English are required to be assessed for their proficiency to speak and understand English. Individuals are required to reach at least Level 4 of the ICAO Language Proficiency Rating Scale and may require language training in order to be able to achieve this level.
The assessment of language proficiency is to be conducted by an organisation, and in a manner, approved by ATSD. This will include the issuance of a certificate as proof of the level of language proficiency demonstrated by each student.

b) when specifically required by the CAA.
3.1.2  A student or trainee air traffic controller shall undertake an APC when he has not commenced unit training within six months of completing an approved course of initial training.

3.2  Assessment for Previous Competence – the Four-year Rule
