3 Unit Training Plan (UTP) Documentation
The UTP shall be approved by the CAA and should be fully documented, indicating:
a) the objectives of the training;
b) the training processes by which the objectives will be met;
c) the assessment process by which progress will be judged;
d) the minimum training time and the maximum time in which student and/or trainee
air traffic controllers are expected to achieve the objectives of the training; e) the process by which successful completion of OJT is to be judged.
4 Phases of Unit Training
4.1 Unit training is broken down into three phases, Transitional, Pre-OJT and OJT. Pre-OJT may only be appropriate at large, complex units where simulator facilities are available. Unit training may therefore consist of all three phases, or just transitional training and OJT. Whatever the structure of your unit training, the phases of training must be identified in your UTP.
4.2 A student/trainee must demonstrate that he has met the objectives for each phase of training before being allowed to commence the next phase.
5 Transitional Training Phase (also referred to as Transition Training)
5.1 The objective of transitional training is to take students/trainees from the level of knowledge and skill they will have reached on successful completion of initial training to a level where they can commence pre-On-the-Job Training (pre-OJT), or, at smaller units with no pre-OJT, proceed directly to OJT.
5.2 Transitional training consists generally of classroom sessions or guided self study during which the student learns about the unit, its environment, associated airspace and ATC procedures. Training and assessment in the application of ATC procedures may include the use of part task and full task training on simulators that do not replicate the operational environment to a high level of reality. The success of this training, that is, the results of written or oral assessments and, where appropriate, practical exercises should be assessed before progression to the next phase of training.
5.3 The simulators used during transitional training will be approved as part of the UTP approval process, the ATS provider being required to demonstrate how the simulator and the associated exercises will provide adequate support for the particular training plan.
5.4 The simulations carried out in this phase will relate to specific parts of the controller's task which build towards the full task. This may include issues such as airspace familiarisation, an introduction to basic ATC techniques used at the unit and equipment training. Although the skills being learned during this phase are a series of individual tasks, the terminal objectives should still be stated, i.e., when measured against the performance objectives, what the students/trainees are expected to know and to be able to do at the end of this phase of training.
6 Pre On-the-Job Training
6.1 This term is interpreted to indicate that pre-OJT is the phase where individual tasks, learned during transitional training, are integrated into simulation of the whole task. Students must meet the terminal objectives for this phase of training if they are to proceed to on-the-job training (OJT).
6.2 Pre-OJT is a safety-critical phase of the training during which students/trainees will integrate all previously learned procedures and routines, including national ATC procedures, into the decision-making process and learn to allocate priority.
6.3 Particularly at busier units, pre-OJT training has the advantage of freeing up operational training slots enabling the student/trainee to operate in a realistic operational environment with considerable autonomy without any impact on operational efficiency or safety. Students/trainees who have undergone pre-OJT training should be better equipped to benefit from OJT and to adapt to the operational environment.
