Understanding Rating Training for ATSEP: ICAO and EASA Perspectives

Rating training is a critical phase in the professional development of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP). It represents the specialized training required to ensure personnel are competent to manage specific systems or equipment in their operational environment. This stage of training bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on expertise, enabling ATSEP personnel to perform their roles effectively and safely within complex air traffic management (ATM) systems.
