The history speaks volumes. The sector is gradually recovering and JAA TO is unfailingly present to support this restarting of operations. The JAA TO of today provides fundamental contributions to the consolidation of the aviation safety culture and understanding in Europe. This training leadership role transcends into other commitments for the aviation community too.

The well-known, long-standing experience and expertise of JAA TO made an instant transfer of its high-quality portfolio to virtual classroom training only possible. This adaption came with its challenges but as training pioneer, JAA TO was able to innovate to meet aviation needs. This learning curve enabled the organisation to provide a robust virtual business working with latest technology trends that serve professionals to this day.

Powered by its brand name and quality promise to customers, the virtual classroom method was the only real alternative to traditional classroom training at that moment. It effectively covered vital skills enabling aviation professionals to do their jobs diligently during COVID-19. The aspiration and competence of delivering the highest quality courses in all teaching formats proved to be the crucial point in the JAA TO experience and secured the organisation’s survival during the pandemic.

Thinking with trainees and partners to accommodate them depending on the circumstances was, and still is to this day, a testament to the organisation’s character and great stakeholder management. The quality of the JAA TO can also be attributed to its quality in service.

These welcoming signs of global recovery lift the industry one step closer to operating profitability. From an authority point of view, aviation regulation needs to be in sync with growing business operations. So, in order to sync implementation efforts with regulation, training will again play a huge role in smooth and sound operations. JAA TO continues what it does best – promoting and facilitating the understanding of existing and new aviation regulations to improve safety and security worldwide. Using its rich pool of instructors/SMEs and innovative approaches to training experiences, the organisation attracts the modern trainee who returns to the job knowledgeable and empowered.

- Ms. Mata

The combination of JAA TO’s classroom, virtual and training consultancy solutions speak to a wide range of industry stakeholders and governing bodies that require compliance with and facilitation of latest regulatory standards and procedures demanded by their State’s Authority. The pandemic accelerated the digital transformation and JAA TO continues its momentum into the digital era when certain training disciplines like Security, Facilitation, Ground Operations, and Airworthiness regain priority. Further, JAA TO’s speciality is to pioneer regulatory training developments by advancing workshops on regulations that are not yet in force and anticipating trends thereof.

- Mrs. Čizmarov

Given the promising outlook of the state of global air transport, aviation stakeholders are in need of updates to implement guidelines, procedures, SARPs etc. complying with authority policy. JAA TO is optimistic that the economic and efficient training of personnel is key to the harmonisation between theory and practice, regulation and implementation. Capacity-building marks an important pillar for aviation organisations dealing with complex regulatory frameworks, so JAA TO’s work advances professionals, personnel, organisations, methodologies, concepts and ideas. Via its fully established Course Development Unit (CDU), JAA TO is able to design and develop competency-based training jewels which is the core element for ensuring that successful trainees become competent to perform their job, with the proper knowledge, skills and attitudes.
