TRAINING CENTRE
ALL ABOUT TRAINING
INCHEON’S AVIATION ACADEMY IS EARNING ITSELF A REPUTATION AS A LEADING GLOBAL TRAINING CENTRE.
A 44
s you would expect from a six-times winner of the Best Airport Worldwide award in ACI’s Airport Service Quality (ASQ) customer satisfaction survey, Incheon does many things well, and training is no exception.
So well in fact that the Aviation Academy, already a dedicated ACI global training centre, will shortly be named as a designated ICAO training centre for its new TRAINAIR PLUS programme (TPP).
The new training initiative will form part of ICAO’s Next Generation of Aviation Professional (NGAP) programme, which is designed to ensure that the aviation industry avoids a shortfall of staff in the future. To earn its lofty status, the Aviation Academy had to prove that it was capable of becoming a TPP training centre by meeting strict criteria demanded by ICAO. As part of the assessment process, ICAO reviewed the
academy’s organisational structure, training aids, curricula, instructors, computer based training capabilities, simulators, e-learning systems and quality assurance programme. “This will make a big difference as we will be the fi rst training centre in Asia to become a designated ICAO training centre for the TRAINAIR PLUS programme,” enthuses Incheon’s deputy director of training and development, Tony Cho.
Incheon is expected to cement ICAO’s training endorsement and its 10th anniversary celebrations by hosting an NGAP conference later this year.
An ICAO document explaining the importance of NGAP, states: “The programme was launched to ensure that enough qualifi ed and competent aviation professionals are available to operate, manage and maintain the future international air transport system.
“This is especially critical as large contingents of the current generation of aviation professionals will retire, access to affordable training and education is increasingly problematic, and aviation competes with other industry sectors to attract highly skilled professionals.” The hosting of TPP courses and the planned NGAP conference are certainly in line with the academy’s decision to focus more on international training programmes this year. “After focusing on internal training for more than fi ve years, we recently decided that it was time to look overseas for customers and have developed and continue to develop very different training programmes to appeal to new markets,” says Cho. Indeed, the Aviation Academy has its own international training courses for developing countries, which attracted 371 students from across the Asia-Pacific last year.
