EUROPEAN CIVIL AVIATION CONFERENCE - CONFÉRENCE EUROPÉENNE DE L'AVIATION CIVILE

Recurrent training and recertification of ECAC auditors

Paris, 23-24 June 2022 - The ECAC Secretariat organised a Recurrent Training and Recertification of ECAC Auditors workshop with a view to resuming the ECAC Audit Programme in the fourth quarter 2022 and in response to Member States' requests for security audits.

The purpose of this activity was to confirm that auditors still possess the necessary knowledge and competencies, including knowledge of ECAC Doc 30, Part I – Security and the audit methodology. In a series of classroom activities and discussions, the auditors reviewed recent amendments to Doc 30 and developed a common understanding of new and amended Doc 30 recommendations. The workshop also enabled the participants to exchange experience and best practices in auditing various Doc 30 recommendations and to develop consistency in evaluating their implementation.

At the end of the workshop, the participants sat a series of written tests. The recertified auditors will be invited by the Secretariat to participate in security audits in the coming months according to Member States' needs.
