Competency checks

Examiners may be asked to assist with performing competency checks. These are usually conducted in the following cases:

1. A controller is underperforming during training, has received a progression warning and needs an assessment by an examiner.
2. An inactive controller completing their refresh training, and a competency check has been requested by the student's mentor.
3. A transferring controller is completing their familiarization training.
4. A real-world controller is completing parts of their fast-track training.

Competency check guidelines

Competency checks should be formatted as an otherwise regular training session.

In the case of underperforming students, competency checks shall be conducted together with a mentor. The other mentor may be the student's own assigned mentor or any other mentor for the applicable level. The examiner is responsible for the assessment, but decides together with the mentor whether training can continue or not.

Competency checks may be conducted by the examiner only in most other cases.

Competency check reports

Competency check reports shall be submitted as regular training reports.

The examiner is responsible for submitting the report after the competency check session. A one-time link can be obtained either from the mentor or training staff.

The result of the competency check shall be forwarded to training staff either by CC request or directly after the competency check.
