Frequently asked questions

What is CBTA?

CBTA is a modern and effective approach to training that focuses on individual competency and employs valid and reliable assessment tools to evaluate results.

It is a methodology that originated in the late 1980s and has evolved within the aviation industry since.

What is the purpose of CBTA? The ultimate purpose and goal of CBTA training is to ensure a safe and efficient air transport system. That’s why the aviation industry is committed to fostering competent personnel. This is achieved through the implementation of a competency-based approach to training and assessment.
Is it applicable to my company? Yes. Most operators in the aviation industry are required to undergo Dangerous Goods training using to CBTA, even if they do not transport dangerous goods.
Is CBTA applicable to other types of training? Yes. Scandlearn believes in the effectiveness of the CBTA concept, as evidenced by numerous employee surveys from operators. Employees who know they meet competency requirements tend to be more engaged and motivated. Consequently, we plan to transition most of our online training courses to the CBTA framework. Additionally, national authorities are increasingly mandating that ground training, beyond Dangerous Goods, adhere to CBTA standards. Therefore, it's essential for operators to anticipate this shift and partner with a supplier like Scandlearn who offers a comprehensive range of CBTA training courses.
How does CBTA work? Is it just a content update? CBTA is not solely about content. While the course content remains largely unchanged, much like annual updates. CBTA transforms how we train for dangerous goods and assess the results. Our approach involves tailoring training for different functions within your organisation, and seamlessly integrating it into existing training programs.
Is the Scandlearn CBTA solution approved? Yes and no. Scandlearn does not hold approval as an organisation for Dangerous Goods, as an example. However, our CBTA training platform is specifically designed for training managers who operate in the aviation industry. With this platform, our customers obtain approvals from their relevant National Authorities. To date, our customers have secured approvals from over 50 countries worldwide.
How do I implement CBTA or get started? Implementing CBTA can be time-consuming and complex for the operator's management staff to fully master it. So to assist our customers, Scandlearn has developed a template for writing approvals to National Authorities that cover most of the required content. Additionally, we provide free person-to-person coaching to help implement the CBTA framework, saving time and effort. You’ll save lots of time and effort choosing Scandlearn as your CBTA provider.
Will the Scandlearn CBTA solution be customised to my company? Absolutely. Customisation is integral to CBTA training. We tailor the training to incorporate your specific functions and how your organisation handles dangerous goods. This tailored approach ensures that your training program aligns with your company's unique needs and requirements.
Is CBTA about taking a test before training and then receiving content based on test results?

No. Some providers may misconstrue CBTA as a process involving pre-testing and content delivery based on test results. However, this is a misinterpretation of the CBTA concept. At Scandlearn, our CBTA solution goes beyond mere testing and content delivery, offering a comprehensive and effective approach to training.


Key points about the CBTA solution from Scandlearn:

  • Customised to your company's specific needs;
  • Goes beyond testing and content delivery;
  • A proven and globally recognised approach to training.

What is CBTA?

On the surface, CBTA (Competency-Based Training & Assessments) may look like just a slightly different training solution compared to what existed before. The truth is, not only is CBTA a complex (but amazing) training framework, it also requires a great deal of work to set-up properly and effectively. Not that you need to worry, Scandlearn has extensive experience working with CBTA and we're here to guide you every step of the way.

Scandlearn-aviation-training-website-cbta-checking-manifesto
What is CBTA?

Competency

The first part of the CBTA concept deals with a learner’s competency, or how well they are able to apply what they learn in the real world. This is often measured using a system called KSA, which stands for:

Knowledge: The information that a person must know.
Skills: The practiced application of knowledge.
Attitude: How their outlook influences their performance.

Competency is a person’s understanding of what they have learned and being able to apply that knowledge to perform practical tasks safely.

Scandlearn-aviation-training-website-cbta-dg-helicopter
What is CBTA?

Assessment

The method that a CBTA system uses to measure a learner’s competency is called assessment. This is achieved by mixed assessments in different methods that challenge a learner during the course lessons. These assessments are strategically placed throughout the course and presented to the learner at different stages to asses their competency-level in the course curriculum.

Approaching courseware in this way makes for a far more productive learning experience. Resulting in a deeper understanding of the important theoretical content that is necessary for learners to succeed.
