The introduction of Regulation (EU) 965/2012 and (EU) 1178/2011 saw the requirements of Compliance Monitoring introduced in lieu of Quality Systems for AOCs., FTOs and TRTOs. It also saw the introduction of Compliance Monitoring for the Operators for whom it may have previously not been required.

A fully integrated (Into the management system) Compliance Monitoring program within an EASA approved organisation is able to deliver far more than simple identification of non-compliances.

It should ideally provide significant benefits to support the business by underpinning the Safety Management System (SMS).

This course was developed to be equally relevant for those Operators and ATOs for whom Compliance Monitoring and Quality Systems are new concepts and those for whom the new requirements are simply a transition from their existing systems. This course was also designed to give delegates sufficient theoretical auditor training for them to then continue on to an in-company auditor training programme.

The course looks in detail at maximising the effectiveness of the EASA Management System Approach and to ensure the strongest possible Compliance Monitoring and reporting function.

The course deals with effective auditing of the AOC and the Approved Training Organisation (ATO).

The Course is specifically focused to meet the needs of Compliance Auditing staff from both the AOC and ATO business areas.

 Q WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF THIS TRAINING - WHAT WILL I LEARN?

a) To consider the fundamentals of an EASA compliant Aviation Compliance System together with the Key elements required to organize the Compliance Audit System processes to ensure compliance and to deliver maximum effectiveness.

b) To re-enforce a comprehensive understanding of the requirements for both the QA & SMS systems including an understanding of the different types of audit applicable for each area together with how the QMS & SMS integrates within the EASA Management System Process

c) A detailed practical understanding of the high level and working level regulations.

d) To provide sufficient theoretical auditor training for them to be able to continue to develop within the “in-company” auditor training programme.

e) An essential element then of benefiting from this training is to focus on the issues, how they relate in our work place, and what we need to do to address them.

f) How to identify areas which need special attention and how to focus our efforts on making sure our trainings deliver in all relevant areas.
