Montreal – Canada
In the coming year, Qatar will host the 5th Global Aviation Training Symposium on the advanced trainer programme (Trainer), the first of its kind organised by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in the Middle East and North Africa Aviation Training Region.
Qatar’s hosting of the event is part of a partnership between the Qatar Aeronautical College and the ICAO Office for Global Aviation Security Training (GAT).
The partnership agreement was signed by the Director General of QAC, H E Sheikh Jabor bin Hamad Al Thani, and the Deputy Director of the Technical Cooperation Department of ICAO, and Director of the WMO Office for Global Aviation Security Training, Meshesha Belayneh.
This symposium will be an important opportunity for ICAO Member States to meet training authorities and organisations to explore the prospects and opportunities of new partnerships, as well as to raise awareness of the priorities for strengthening the key capabilities of aviation training in the near and long term.
450 participants from all over the world are expected to attend the symposium, including universities, specialised training centres and major international organisations working in this sector such as the International Air Transport Association and the International Airports Council and other stakeholders.
Qatar Aeronautical College Academy’s hosting of this event will be reflected on its strategic vision towards developing the human element of this vital sector in Qatar and the region, especially that the symposium will be attended by distinguished international experts to highlight the best training practices that can be used by the College to support the aviation sector in Qatar and promote it.
The “Trainer” Advanced Program is a collaborative international training network of more than 90 specialised training centres and institutions in more than 70 ICAO member countries. The program aims to support member states in efforts and initiatives to develop and share high-quality and competency-based training materials.
