Chapter 6 - Training

6.1 　Introduction

　　　The type of training depends largely on the knowledge base of the particular person concerned. It is envisaged that a set of model courses will be designed aimed at setting out the requirements for basic training.

　　　All stages of training, whether basic or on-the-job should include continuous assessment. A task book (training log) should be used to show progress being made by personnel in their particular training. The log would show the number of hours allocated and/or time in which each task was completed. Training times should be dependent on the experience, if any, of trainees. Training to work as a member of a team should normally be part of the syllabus.

　　　All training and assessment of VTS Personnel should be:

.1 　structured in accordance with written programmes, including such methods and media of delivery, procedures, and course material as are necessary to achieve the prescribed standard of competence; and

.2 　conducted, monitored, evaluated and supported by persons qualified in accordance with §5.7

　　　All training courses should be based on the model courses associated with this Recommendation and be quality approved and accredited by the Competent Authority concerned. Basic training should be carried out at an Accredited Training Institute.

　　　Competent Authorities should ensure that the aims and objectives of training are defined within an overall training programme and that specific training objectives and tasks are selected so as to relate as closely as possible to VTS tasks and practices.
