Recognition of Competence route (RoC) can be utilised where training from the designated syllabus is to be delivered by a person who has been deemed competent and has been approved to do so, without the issuance of a Certified Instructor Number (CIN). Currently this route is available for hold baggage reconciliation training and aircrew security recurrent training.
This is an alternative route to instructor certification where upon approval, a letter issuing a unique RoC number is granted for the individual to deliver training from any of the subject syllabuses listed below.
We no longer accept applications for organisational RoC, which is being phased out.
Please note there will be ongoing changes to the recognition of competence route in future. Please contact avsec.training@avsec.caa.co.uk
