FAR 145 Approved Training Programs – Train the Trainer

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) governs foreign and domestic air agencies that perform maintenance and alterations. In particular, there is a training provision – 14 CFR 145.163 – that requires each repair station to submit a training program to the FAA for approval as part of its certification process.

This one-day training covers the elements and functions that constitute an effective training program and the recommended topics for training repair station technicians, managers, supervisors, and inspectors. Each maintenance organisation that performs maintenance for an Air Operator must have a training program that assures all maintenance personnel receive initial and recurrent training that is appropriate to individually assigned tasks and responsibilities.

To assist industry training managers in complying with this requirement, this course provides guidance and recommendations for establishing, implementing, or improving training programs at repair stations.

This course also includes a segment of specialized training for Airworthiness Directive (AD) Management.
