Course aim
The course is designed to impart domain-related knowledge and skills appropriate to the Navigation (NAV) Qualification streams in accordance with the EASA ANNEX XIII - Part-PERS requirements for service providers concerning personnel training and competence assessment Subpart A - Air Traffic Safety Electronic Personnel.Course objectives
After completion of the course, participants have:- Knowledge and understanding of the subjects described below (see Content in brief) in accordance with the EASA ANNEX XIII - Part-PERS requirements for service providers concerning personnel training and competence assessment Subpart A - Air Traffic Safety Electronic Personnel.
- Knowledge and understanding of the importance of teamwork.
Course overview
Our standard ATSEP qualification NAV Combined course comprises NAV-VOR, NAV-DME and NAV-ILS streams - the duration of the course is ten days. Other streams (NAV-NDB, NAV-DF, NAV-MLS) can be added upon client’s request.In addition to the ATSEP NAV Combined course, Entry Point North also offers courses comprising the individual streams.
The competency-based training consists of theoretical lessons and is delivered by professional international instructors. The theory comprises individual topics covering various aspects of operating and maintaining NAV equipment.
Prerequisites
To become a qualified ATSEP, you need to complete the ATSEP Basic course, the ATSEP Shared course, and at least one ATSEP Qualification course. This Initial Training can be completed in two different orders:ATSEP Basic > ATSEP Shared > ATSEP Qualification, or
ATSEP Basic > ATSEP Qualification > ATSEP Shared
This means that the only prerequisite for starting this Qualification course is to have completed the ATSEP Basic course. However, to become a qualified ATSEP you will need to either complete an ATSEP Shared course before taking the Qualification course, or complete an ATSEP Shared course after you completed the Qualification course.
Compliance with regulations
The course is compliant with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373 Annex XIII, subpart A.Content in brief
