IFATCA Policy is:

ATFM personnel shall be subject to a competency based training and assessment framework, which amongst others will require the ATFM personnel to demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge, skill and experience of all relevant ATC procedures and ATFM duties.

The responsibility for spacing and separation remains solely with ATC.

ATFM personnel shall be required to familiarise themselves with major changes in ATC procedures and maintain their acquaintance with problem areas in relation to ATFM within their region.
