Knowledge is generally acquired through formal training. But the acquired knowledge of a formal training may not inevitably result in a direct improvement of performance.

Without any practical experience an enlargement of knowledge won’t result in an efficient improvement of the performance.

Therefore, the challenge is how to create an operation-focused and practice-oriented competence within the regular training course.

Learning by doing

The most practical way is to bring the aircraft virtually into the classroom.

LTT in Asia offers state-of-the-art training media comprising of mock-up trainers, computer-based-training, and electronic simulation systems, e.g. MTD (maintenance simulators) or virtual aircraft for component location training.

These various training media promote active-learning which allows to practice extensively most of the operational work packages in a controlled and safer environment of a training centre.

Efficient training

The key for an efficient training is the blending of different training methods and its integration into an aligned syllabus.

This combination of theory and practice throughout the course creates a more efficient training thus producing a competent staff rather than just knowledgeable personnel.
