The Training Developer Course (TDC) is prepared by ICAO's Aviation Safety Training Section (AST), Air Navigation Bureau (ANB), and offered to the Aviation Community through the TRAINIAR PLUS Centres. The TDC is the core training activity in the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme. This is the main tool to consolidate the implementation of the programme among Civil Aviation Training Centres (CATCs) and creation of a team of updated and well trained professionals as course developers to work on Course Development Units.
