How eds supports ATC pre-OJT training
A single cloud platform to design, deliver and continuously improve competency‑based ATCO simulator training – from exercise design to assessment and learning analytics.
01 · Exercise design
CBTA‑based exercise design
EDS provides a structured environment to design ATCO simulator exercises aligned with competency‑based training and assessment framework.
- Leverage ready-to-use rating‑specific training modules (TWR, APP, En Route,…) with their associated competencies and performance criteria, or create your own.
- Organise and manage Performance Objectives and Particular Control Situations (PCS) by taxonomy and difficulty level.
- Automatically generate balanced series of training and assessment exercises with consistent control load and full PCS coverage across cohorts.
- Ensure harmonised training outcomes across training units.
This makes it significantly faster to produce standardised, CBTA‑compliant exercise packages – and easier to justify training design choices during audits.
02 · Scenario management
Scenario and simulator integration
EDS supports the full workflow from scenario design to simulator export, reducing manual preparation time for instructors.
- Build detailed simulator scenario roadbooks with a visual timeline interface and 2D real-time view.
- Define and organise flight plans, logs and ancillary tasks for each exercise.
- Fine-tune workload across exercises for consistent training progression.
- Export scenario data to your ATC simulator environment.
Designers spend less time on training design while delivering structured, homogeneous and ICAO-compliant pre-OJT training.
03 · Assessment
KSA‑based assessment and trainee tracking
EDS provides a structured assessment layer aligned with CBTA framework, giving instructors and managers a clear view of training progess and trainee’s competence development.
- Use standardised evaluation forms linked to KSA and performance criteria for each exercise and PCS. Record and access the full assessment history for each trainee throughout their training programme.
- Access collaborative dashboards that give instructors and training managers a shared view of progress.
- Identify competence gaps early and adjust training paths accordingly.
- Optimize simulator occupancy.
Assessment data is structured, traceable and ready to support internal reviews and external oversight at any time.
04 · Supervision
Multi-site supervision
For ANSPs running ATCO training across multiple units or locations, EDS provides a centralised supervision layer.
- Monitor training design progress and exercise coverage across multiple sites and cohorts from one interface.
- Compare training consistency and outcomes between units or instructors.
- Manage training programmes and syllabi centrally while allowing local delivery.
- Centralise training design, assessments and data across multiple sites – supporting the traceability requirements for virtual and distance training under EU Regulation 2025/2143.
EDS makes it practical to scale CBTA‑based ATCO training across geographically distributed organisations.
05 · Analytics
LRS / xAPI and learning analytics
EDS includes a dedicated data layer to store, query and analyse training events across all users, sites and courses.
- All training events and assessment results are stored in xAPI format in an integrated Learning Record Store (LRS).
- Generate learning analytics reports on exercise completion, PCS coverage, KSA progression and trainee performance.
- Use data to support evidence‑based improvement of syllabi, PCS sets and exercise design.
- Provide audit‑ready evidence of training quality and competence for authorities and oversight bodies.
With EDS, training data is no longer scattered across spreadsheets and paper forms – it is centralised, structured and actionable.
Designed to meet ICAO and EASA requirements
EDS has been built from the ground up to operationalise the key frameworks that govern ATC simulator training today.
- Aligned with ICAO ATCO CBTA guidance as described in Doc 9868 (PANS‑TRG) and Doc 10056.
- Supports implementation of EASA Opinion 06/2024 and EU Regulation 2025/2143 on ATCO CBTA and virtual training.
- Supports structured documentation of training design, delivery and assessment for regulatory oversight.
