Continuation training
Continuation training is one of the requirement for renewal of AMEL by DGCA or renewal of Certification Authorisation by Quality Dept in any organisation.
Continuation training is a two way process to ensure that certifying staff remain current in terms of procedures, human factors and technical knowledge and that the organisation receives feedback on the adequacy of its procedures and maintenance instructions.
Interactive nature of continuation training, provide possibility of involvement of the quality department to ensure that feedback is actioned.
Procedure is required to ensure that feedback is formally passed from the training department to the quality department to initiate action.
Content of continuation training should cover changes in relevant requirements such as CAR-145, changes in organisation procedures and the modification standard of the products being maintained plus human factor issues identified from any internal or external analysis of incidents.
Staff failed to follow procedures - the continuation training will reinforce the need to follow procedures and ensure that incomplete or incorrect procedures are identified to the company in order that they can be corrected.
Duration - Continuation training should be of sufficient duration in each 2 year period to meet the intent of 145.A.35(d) and may be split into a number of separate elements.
CAR145.A.35(d) requires such training to keep certifying staff updated in terms of
relevant technology, procedures and human factors issues.
Sufficient duration should be related to relevant quality audit findings and other internal / external sources of information available to the organisation on human errors.
If an organisation that maintains aircraft with few relevant quality audit findings, continuation training could be limited to days.
Organisation maintaining aircraft components, the duration of continuation training would follow the same philosophy but should be scaled down to reflect the more limited nature of the activity.
Method of training is intended to be a flexible process and could, for example, include a continuation training course, aeronautical college courses, internal short duration courses, seminars, etc.
Elements, general content and length should be specified in the MOE unless is undertaken by an organisation approved when such details may be specified under the approval and cross referenced in the maintenance organisation exposition.
Programme for continuation training should list all certifying staff and support staff and when training will take place, the elements of such training and an indication that it was carried out reasonably on time as planned. Such information should subsequently be transferred to the certifying staff and support staff record as required by 145.A.35 (j).
