ICAO Aligned Aviation
Compliance & Competency Management
Define, Identify, Report and Develop Team Competencies
Competency.Aero is the world’s first ICAO-aligned aviation competency management platform.
AviComp LLC / Competency.Aero - Aviation Competency Management Service helps airports, defence organisations, and aviation companies define, develop, and demonstrate personnel competencies across all operational and engineering roles.
Aviation Compliance & Competency Management Services
Aviation is uniquely governed by globally unified regulations, led by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), ensuring consistency, safety, and efficiency across international borders. Its unwavering focus on safety, real-time accountability, and specialised training distinguishes it as one of the most rigorously regulated sectors worldwide.
As an Accountable Executive, the responsibility for a robust Safety Management System (SMS) is paramount. This includes ensuring personnel are qualified, competent, and equipped with detailed job roles and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to execute tasks effectively.
A Competency Management Service is a structured framework designed to ensure that personnel possess the necessary skills, knowledge, and behaviours to perform their roles effectively, safely, and in full compliance with regulatory requirements.
It goes beyond traditional training, focusing on assessing, developing, and maintaining competency to meet both organisational and industry demands.
About Aviation Competency Management Services (ACMS)
Aviation operations are inherently complex, making it crucial to ensure that your personnel are not just trained but truly competent in their roles. This guarantees that your operational staff not only comply with regulatory requirements but also meet your organisation’s high standards and expectations.
The processes supporting this service have been refined over 30 years of application in high-risk industries. They have now been updated and tailored specifically to meet the peculiar demands of the aviation sector.
Competency maps (CMAPs) have been built using ICAO, EASA & National Aviation Authority’s standards and guidelines. Content can be customised to the unique needs of organisations of all sizes, whether small enterprises or large, complex operations.
