IFATCA Policy is:

During school training regular progress tests should be given on all theoretical subjects. Results should be analysed and discussed with the students.

The students should be regularly assessed and debriefed throughout the period of simulation training. A written report should be made by the instructor on a regular basis and should reflect the level of achievement of the appropriate performance criteria. Both theoretical assessment(s) combined with multiple practical assessments should contribute to the total marks.

Examination on local procedures, local area, letters of agreements etc. should be made.

During OJT regular assessments by ATC OJTIs should be provided. Reports on student progress should be forwarded to training section. At all times the student should be kept informed and permitted to see the reports.

A student that has failed an examination should, provided some signs of success are demonstrated and it can be determined that the individual has controller potential, after a suitable period of further training, be permitted a re-examination.

The duration of training shall not be dictated by a strict pre-determined period of time, but rather by the achievement of performance standards at determined milestones, taking into account the progression demonstrated by the student.
