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.
  • Define and organise flight plans, logs and ancillary tasks for each exercise.
  • Visualize flights in 2D real-time view.
  • 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 ATCO CBTA frameworks, giving instructors and managers a clear view of each 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.

Assessment data is structured, traceable and ready to support internal reviews and external oversight at any time.
