  1. Implementing the ELPAC Test Polish Air Navigation Services Agency Presented by BozenaSlawinska

  2. Why ELPAC? Why ELPAC and not any other test? Involvement in Eurocontrol’s EPT and PELA tests Wanting to participate in an international project

  3. Preparing for ELPAC • June 2007: Licence Agreement signed with Eurocontrol • Sept. 2007: first of 3 accreditation workshops in Luxembourg • 9 ELEs and ATCOs accredited as: • Administrators (3) • Paper 1 markers (6) • Paper 2 examiners (9)

  4. Implementing ELPAC • Centralised testing started on November 5th 2007 • 393 controllers tested • More than 70% passed, including 10 successfulresits • 64 Level 5 • 215 Level 4 • 114 Level 3

  5. Test Administration • Slowness of internet presented some problems with Paper 1 • Good support from Enovate & Eurocontrol • Test preparation – not ideal due lack of resources (recognise the need for adequate preparation)

  6. Feedback 1 On the positive side: Test is not as difficult as expected Test is perceived as relevant to the job Examinerswellprepared by Eurocontrol Goodsupport by Eurocontrol, Enovate Test is seen to be fair

  7. Feedback 2 But, controllers also said about Paper 1: • No separate versions for TWR/APP/ACC • Would like more sample versions of the test • Sometimes felt like a computer skills test not a language test • No possibility to say “say again” • Too many questions in insufficient time

  8. Where arewe today? • Poland filed a difference with ICAO Standards • Mostly due to pilot situation • Not all controllers were compliant by March 5th • Action being taken to bring all up to level 4 • Resits • Remedial language training

  9. Overall impressions • Support from Enovate • ELPAC 1.1 released in January • Improving administrator tasks • Helpline • Contact with Eurocontrol • User Group meeting • Exchange experiences • Suggesting improvements

  10. Further information • www.elpac.info • Information about ELPAC • Sample test versions for familiarisation
