Personnel Training and Competence Assessment

basic training course.
ATSEP.OR.205(b) GM1 Basic training
ENTRY LEVEL
In some instances, only a limited number of training objectives will need to be taught to ATSEP
learners. This is usually the case when the entry level of learners includes some form of previous
qualification (e.g. engineering degree or diploma). In this case, the length of training and the number
of objectives may be less than that of a course directed to learners who have little or no engineering
or technical qualifications. If no engineering or technical qualifications are required prior to starting the
basic training, then it may be necessary to include additional objectives in the training that will prepare
learners to deal with the basic training.
ATSEP.OR.210 Qualification training
The qualification training of ATSEPs shall comprise:
(a) the subjects, topics, and sub-topics contained in Appendix 3 (Qualification training -
Shared);
(b) where relevant to its activities, at least one of the qualification streams, contained in
Appendix 4 (Qualification training - Streams).
ATSEP.OR.210 AMC1 Qualification training
GENERAL
The selection of the subjects, topics, and sub-topics should be tailored to:
(a) the duties of the ATSEP regarding the service provider's activities; and
(b) prior experience and education of the candidate ATSEP.
ATSEP.OR.210 AMC2 Qualification training
SHARED
The objectives contained in Appendix 3a to this AMC should be included in the qualification training
course.
ATSEP.OR.210 GM1 Qualification training
MINIMUM TRAINING
The qualification training contained within the requirement is the minimum training that needs to be
followed by all who aim at becoming ATSEP. However, service providers may decide to add additional
subjects or topics that may be specific to their national or local environment.
COMPOSITION OF COURSES
Qualification training may be provided as (a) stand-alone course(s) or as part of a larger course.
ATSEP.OR.210(a) AMC1 Qualification training
STREAMS
The objectives contained in Appendix 4a to this AMC should be included in the qualification training
course.
ATSEP.OR.210(b) GM1 Qualification training
STREAMS
For the purpose of this section, 'streams' is understood as being a cluster of training objectives that
support a particular area of work.
ATSEP.OR.215 System and equipment rating training
(a) The system and equipment rating training of ATSEPs shall be applicable to the duties to
be performed and include one or several of the following:
(1) theoretical courses;
(2) practical courses;
(3) on-the-job training.
(b) The system and equipment rating training shall ensure that candidate ATSEP acquire
knowledge and skills pertaining to:
(1) the functionality of the system and equipment;
(2) the actual and potential impact of ATSEP actions on the system and equipment;
(3) the impact of the system and equipment on the operational environment.
ATSEP.OR.215 GM1 System and equipment rating training
SYSTEM AND EQUIPMENT RATING
A system and equipment rating is the authorisation which allows the ATSEP to perform operational
tasks on specific system/equipment and may, optionally, include an association with operational
site/s, location/s and/or maintenance task levels. The award of this rating follows the successful
assessment of operational competence.
The term 'rating' in the definition of 'system/equipment rating training' should not be associated with
the definition of 'rating' in Regulation (EC) No 216/2008.
ATSEP.OR.220 Continuation training
The continuation training of ATSEPs shall comprise refresher, equipment/systems upgrades and
modifications, and/or emergency training.
ATSEP.OR.220 AMC1 Continuation training
GENERAL
The frequency and duration of continuation training should be determined by taking into account the
ATSEP task exposure (recency) as well as the complexity of the operation and of the maintenance of
systems.
