Are the guidelines for common core content mandatory?
ESARR5 requires initial ATC training courses to satisfy, as a minimum the ECAC guidelines for common core training. The EC directive on an ATCO community licence should state that the initial training will ensure that student air traffic controllers satisfy at least the objectives for basic and rating training, as described in Eurocontrol, “Guidelines for air traffic controller Common Core Content Initial Training”, edition of 12.10.2004.
