This plan identifies the procedures for <strong>Weston</strong><strong>Aerospace</strong> to identify an employee’s training needs in a systematic manner, develop training and/or identifyappropriate existing training, select the training methods, provide training, and record the trainingaccomplished.<strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Aerospace</strong>’s training program consists of the following basic components:• Assessment of training needs to identify overall training needs and individual employee training needs• Course definition to define specific courses of study and individual courses• Identification of training sources and methods to identify options and select how <strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Aerospace</strong> willprovide the training• Recording of training to ensure all employees’ training is documented, and records are retainedThe procedure for implementation of this training program is detailed in GWI103.2 Background<strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Aerospace</strong> has an established training program that includes indoctrination (initial and recurrent),specialised, and remedial training for employees performing maintenance (including inspection), preventivemaintenance, and alteration tasks. The procedures outlined in this manual enable <strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Aerospace</strong> torevise its existing training program to ensure it produces training consistent with all regulatory requirements.All of the information pertaining to the current training records is available for review by the <strong>FAA</strong> principalmaintenance inspector (PI) at <strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Aerospace</strong>’s facilities.3 <strong>Training</strong> Needs Assessment<strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Aerospace</strong>’s needs assessment is a two-part process that includes determining the overalldepartment training requirements as well as individual employee training requirements.3.1 Overall MRO Needs Assessment.To determine its overall training requirements, the Quality Director and Product Test Manager will review thetypes of work being performed and planned, and identify and update the types of knowledge and skills thatthe MRO needs. This will include reviewing such items as the <strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Aerospace</strong> work instructions andprocedures, capability list; customer requirements; expected scope of work; and the relevant experience ofeach technician that will be assigned to perform maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alteration tasks.This general needs assessment will result in a description of the knowledge and skill an employee musthave to properly perform the tasks associated with the work assignment.The results are recorded in a brief summary report establishing the type and level of training required.These basic training goals are documented in the training files, but do not require <strong>FAA</strong> approval.<strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Aerospace</strong> reviews overall training requirements and the requirements of specific individuals inrelation to specific tasks to be performed. <strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Aerospace</strong> will provide training to employees:• When individual employee knowledge or skill deficiencies are identified; or• When significant changes are made to its work scope, or such changes are planned such that theknowledge, skills, or experience render the employee unable to perform work properly such as:1 New regulatory requirements are introduced2 New tools, equipment, or skills are required to perform the work properly3 Work is going to be performed for an air carrier or commercial operator under parts 121, 125,129, or 135© 2010 <strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Aerospace</strong> <strong>Ltd</strong>.
