Competency-Based Training and Assessment asks for clear objectives, observable behaviours and consistent evaluation, for every student, at every stage.
The context
A flight school is moving to CBTA while still running on outdated, time-consuming methods. Its programmes must keep up with regulatory change, and following each student’s progression, then proving it in front of the authority, takes days of manual work.
The challenges
- 01
Moving to competency-based training and assessment
- 02
Running CBTA programmes that keep up with continuous change
- 03
Digitising training and collecting reliable data for analysis
- 04
Getting instructors involved in the new way of assessing
What Hinfact provided
Hinfact Training was deployed in the cloud and configured to the organisation’s workflows. A dedicated product engineer worked alongside the training manager from the first day, including in discussions with the authority and during audits. Existing syllabi and training records were migrated, so nothing started from zero, and the Hinfact team trained every instructor and standardised their grading.
How it works day to day
- 01
Build CBTA programmes
Competencies, objectives and observable behaviours structured in Training Design, ready to evolve with the regulation.
- 02
Plan ahead
Sessions, instructors, aircraft and simulators planned in advance, with qualifications checked as the plan is built.
- 03
Follow every student
Instructors grade in the app; each student’s record, qualifications and documents update straight away.
The outcome
Live in two months, with every user trained and programmes aligned with CBTA.
The school meets ICAO and IATA requirements and is aligned with the EBT standards its students will meet at the airlines. Training paths now target each student’s weak points, grading is standardised, and the school handles its administration on its own, saving time and cost in course design and delivery.
