"An international system for sharing course material can be effective only if all the material used is prepared to defined standards which ensure the complete applicability of the contents and presentation of each particular subject. The methodology to be used to achieve the systematic preparation of TRAINAIR PLUS Standardized Training Packages (STP) is set out in detail in this TRAINAIR PLUS Training Development Guide which is intended as the handbook for all STP development activities within the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme"--Page 7.

The ICAO TRAINAIR PLUS Program is a global cooperative training network of civil aviation training organizations and industry partners working together to develop and deliver competency-based training courses (ICAO, 2014). Since the inception of the TRAINAIR PLUS Program in 2010, the Members of the ICAO training network have grown steadily and the available ICAO-recognized training courses have also increased accordingly, however, only one customer satisfaction survey was conducted for the identification of the Members’ satisfaction level with the TRAINAIR PLUS Program. After seven years of operation, it is significant to conduct a formative evaluation of the Program. This formative evaluation is an action oriented research, with the purpose to study how the TRAINAIR PLUS Program meets its prescribed objectives, how the TRAINAIR PLUS Electronic Management System (TPEMS) contributes to the achievements of the Program objectives and, consequently, determine potential improvements of the Program. In the process of implementing this formative evaluation, four online surveys were deployed using Google Forms and questions were tailored to the TRAINAIR PLUS Program Members, ICAO qualified course developers, ICAO course validators and ICAO instructors respectively. Data collected from the four groups of respondents were analysed separately and then aggregated to generalize the overall results. Subsequently, recommendations and limitations were discussed, and conclusions were summarized from the survey results for the Program improvements.

Engaging the Next Generation of Aviation Professionals is an edited volume that brings together a diverse set of academic and professional perspectives within the three themes of attracting, educating, and retaining the next generation of aviation professionals (NGAP). This compilation is the first academic work specifically targeting this critical issue. The book presents a rich variety of perspectives, academic philosophies, and real-world examples. Submissions include brief case studies, longer scholarly works from respected academics, and professional reflections from individuals who have made important contributions to their field. The book includes academic chapters that explore the topic from a more theoretical standpoint yet are accessible and understandable to a professional audience. These are complemented by both broad and specific practice examples that describe initiatives and applications occurring in the industry around the three themes. All submissions include descriptive insights, experiences, and first-hand accounts of accomplishments, intended to support the work of other professionals managing NGAP issues. This work will be valuable to anyone involved in attracting, educating, or retaining NGAP, including academics, operators, national and international regulators, and outreach coordinators, among many others.
