The Training Developers Course (TDC) gives civil aviation professionals the skills they need to design and develop Standardized Training Packages (STPs) based on ICAO Doc 9941 – Training Development Guide. In today’s rapidly changing aviation industry, organizations face new technologies, evolving regulations, and higher operational demands. Therefore, they require strong, consistent, and competency-based training. Consequently, the TDC guides participants through ICAO’s Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) while providing a clear, step-by-step process for developing effective training.
First, the programme begins with the preliminary study. During this phase, participants examine the training environment, identify performance gaps, and define the purpose of the proposed course. Additionally, they gather essential data, review operational requirements, and outline the exact problem the training must address. As a result, this step establishes a solid foundation for all subsequent decisions.
Next, participants focus on job and task analysis. They break each job role into tasks, responsibilities, and required skills. Then, they convert these findings into measurable learning objectives. This approach ensures direct alignment between operational needs and the training content. Moreover, participants apply practical analysis techniques to real aviation scenarios, which strengthens their understanding.
Afterward, the course moves to population analysis. Here, participants study the target learners, including their backgrounds, experience levels, education, and learning styles. By doing so, they design courses that address real learner needs and improve the effectiveness of the training product.
Subsequently, participants begin the curriculum and module design process. They select instructional methods, prepare learning activities, and organize course content. Furthermore, they design assessments that measure both knowledge and performance. In addition, the course teaches them how to write clear questions, build practical tests, and check the consistency of their assessment tools.
Finally, participants conduct developmental testing and validation. They test their materials with sample learners, gather feedback, and adjust the course accordingly. Ultimately, they confirm that the training achieves its intended goals and meets ICAO standards. Through this hands-on work, they learn how to refine and finalize a complete Standardized Training Package.
In conclusion, by completing the TDC, participants gain full confidence in their ability to design practical, effective, and ICAO-aligned aviation training, ready to meet the needs of modern civil aviation organizations.
