Produktbeschreibung

Implementing Competency-Based Training and Assessment in Aviation explains in detail, with examples, how to implement Competency Based Training and Assessment in aviation. It describes how to develop competence models, assess workplace competence and understand the role of competence models in recruitment and selection.

Taking the framework published by ICAO, this book breaks it down into its component parts and explains how to identify the changes in behaviour needed to enable individuals to act safely and efficiently in hazardous environments. It outlines the framework that underpins training intervention design and investigates tactics of intervention based on current evidence around efficacy. This book acts as a guide to constructing classroom activities that serve as vehicles for addressing the link between declarative and process knowledge under controlled conditions.

Airline personnel, pilots and aviation industry professionals involved in performance assessments and training will benefit from this book.
