Participants will become knowledgeable of roles, required competences and related training activities that should be adopted as part of the aerodrome Management System, as well as establishing a cost-effective proficiency check programme for aerodrome personnel and any other personnel, including personnel of other organisations that operate or provide services at the aerodrome.
