Boeing has inked a deal with CAE with CAE becoming Boeing Authorised Training Provider. As a part of the deal, CAE will implement Boeing’s CBTA (Competency-Based Training and Assessment) curriculum enabling easier access for international customers.
“Boeing and CAE are working together to enhance aviation safety, and this agreement gives more pilots access to the technology and curriculum through which they acquire the skills and knowledge for peak performance in the flight deck,” said Marc Parent, president, CAE.
The new training focuses on the development and evaluation of skills essential for keeping pilots safe in commercial air transport. CBTA adjusts training, so that it is personalised for each user, and it helps pilots to gain experience of potential challenges they could face in a commercial environment.
CAE will implement CBTA in India for starters while Boeing will begin the training in Seattle, Miami, London-Gatwick, Shanghai, and Singapore, as well as at various customer locations internationally.
“As a Boeing-authorised training provider, CAE will leverage its expertise and network of more than 70 training centres worldwide to bring high-quality training on Boeing aircraft closer to our shared customer base,” added Parent.
