CAE will introduce Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) principles into its business aviation programs beginning in January, marking a structural shift in how pilots are evaluated and prepared for increasingly complex operational environments. The company said the model will debut with Phase A of the EASA recurrent training curriculum, where CBTA will be offered as an optional format alongside traditional recurrent coursework.
Instructor development began a year ago, with CBTA principles incorporated into CAE’s teaching standards through structured training and mentorship. The methodology, delivered through the company’s Continuously Optimized Recurrent (CORe) model, links operational insights to training outcomes and emphasizes standardized procedures, scenario-based exercises, and measurable performance improvement.
