NCAA Inspectors Qualify as Instructors

Nine Inspectors of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) have qualified and duly certified as International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Instructors. According to the agency, all the officers attained this qualification after the successful completion of the ICAO Trainer Plus Training Instructors Course (TIC). The training took place at the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria, a certified Trainer Plus Centre from February 13-17, 2017. NCAA said the certification programme was in line with the agency’s Director General’s Four – Point Agenda to continuously develop its internal capacity, as it would accelerate the Authority’s human capital development that would continue to strengthen the robust regulation of the Industry. The ICAO certification has conferred on the instructors the competency to conduct training courses and develop training strategies for course delivery. In addition, they are qualified to deliver Standardised Training Package (STPs) based on TRAINAIR methodology as well as conventional courses. “The Training Instructors Course (TIC) is an ICAO Standardised Training Package (STP) under the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme (TPP) of the ICAO Global Aviation Training (GAT) office in cooperation with the Joint Aviation Authorities Training Organisation (JAA TO). The TIC is segmented into two parts and is offered to aviation professionals at Trainer Plus Centres. Part One is an online course that lasts for about 30 hours while Part Two is a forty - hour face to face classroom delivery course. However, the successful completion of the Part One is a prerequisite to participating in the Part Two face to face classroom training,” said the agency in a statement signed by its spokesman, Sam Adurogboye.
