The Curriculum Development Unit at Queen Noor Technical College for Civil Aviation was established as part of the college's membership in the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) TRAINAIR PLUS program. This program is defined as a global training initiative aimed at enhancing the quality and efficiency of civil aviation training worldwide. It supports training institutions in developing and implementing competency-based training courses that comply with international standards, contributing to improved safety, efficiency, and sustainability in the civil aviation sector. The program also promotes the exchange of standardized training solutions and best practices within a specialized global training network.

In this context, the Curriculum Development Unit is responsible for designing, developing, and managing competency-based training programs in accordance with ICAO standards and the TRAINAIR PLUS methodology. All Standard Training Packages (STPs) are also prepared by this unit, ensuring full compliance with ICAO requirements and international best practices in training development.

The Curriculum Development Unit at Queen Noor Technical College for Civil Aviation has achieved significant milestones by developing and implementing several standardized training packages that comply with ICAO standards in key areas of civil aviation. The unit includes training courses developed by our Curriculum Development Unit and accredited by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). These courses are:

In addition to its role in developing training curricula, the unit has contributed to capacity building by hosting and implementing specialized training programs developed by ICAO and other members of the TRAINAIR PLUS program. These programs cover various areas of aviation training, such as airport inspections, air traffic control services supervision, and aircraft emergency management for air traffic controllers. At airports, the unit's work encompasses post-training evaluation, prevention of communication miscommunications in air traffic control radio communications, management of threats and errors in air traffic control, training management, instructor development, and instructor qualification.

Through these achievements, the Training Course Development Unit has significantly contributed to strengthening the institutional capacities of Queen Noor Technical College for Civil Aviation, enhancing its ability to deliver internationally recognized training programs, and solidifying its position as an active regional contributor to capacity-building initiatives within the ICAO TRAINAIR PLUS program network.
