The OJT Instructor Licence Endorsement is issued for a 3-year period. It is renewable by an assessment of the controller's competence to continue to train and supervise student or trainee air traffic controllers.
Providers of air traffic services at units where they are responsible for the provision of air traffic control services must have processes, procedures and competent personnel to ensure that holders of an OJT Instructor licence endorsement are assessed for competence at least every three years. The renewal of an OJT Instructor licence endorsement may be carried out within the 90-day period preceding the date of expiry of the current OJT Instructor licence endorsement. Provided the controller is assessed as competent, the OJT Instructor licence endorsement will be renewed for a further 3 years from the date of expiry of the current endorsement. Providers of air traffic services shall inform the CAA of the outcome of the assessment in all cases.
The assessment of competence for renewal of the OJT Instructor licence endorsement must confirm that the holder continues to meet the Performance Objectives detailed in CAP 624 Part 12.
Its designed to filter out the 'Grandfather' rights and dare I say it 'Old school' teaching methods.
