Thomas Van, ATMS Implementation Director at AQT Solutions, successfully completed an intense week of onsite training  in Panama City, Panama with Copa Airlines, one of the world’s most profitable commercial airlines. 

Airline Training Management Systems Client Spotlight on Copa Airlines – Thomas led the team through an extensive introduction to the system, detailed procedures on curriculum development, scheduling, e-learning, grading, record keeping, reporting and analysis. Thomas describes, “I returned from an incredible week of training at Copa Airlines in Panama City, Panama. Prior to engaging AQT Solutions, Copa Airlines required more robust training tools, structure and automation to better manage their training operations; ATMS meets all of these requirements. The scope of trainees included eight Copa team members ranging from administrators, schedulers, and record keepers, to instructors.”

The training team will be utilizing ATMS to maintain currency and compliance for Copa’s 1,000 trainees and instructors. This particular trip was unique in that Pedro Herrera, Copa’s Head of Training, participated in ATMS training. With Pedro’s vision and leadership, Copa will be better enabled to transition to AQP (Advanced Qualification Program).

What Did You Think of ATMS Training Process?

Training has been very helpful for users to understand how the system will facilitate their work.

I just have a comment regarding the training plan that was sent prior the training: We had invited just the staff with the indicated roles in the training plan in each session, but once Thomas was here, he suggested that it was better (and it definitely was), to add all the team for all week training. We had to send invitations at the last minute and some of them couldn’t attend.

This is a very straight forward system, and very intuitive.

Thomas’s has a very good training methodology.

To answer this one, let me one more time thank for such a great training experience, I wish I could’ve spend more time learning about the system.  You find the way to pass the message across during class in a very simple an clear way, so is easy to understand almost everything, you are a great instructor¡¡¡¡¡

It looks more simple than what we are used to do with our current system.

We are getting to know the system, I feel little fear, but with the time everything is going to improve, and with your support we will be able to achieve the target.

As this week training progressed, I started to get a very good impression of what the system can do for our training department with numerous benefits that would be too long to mention at this moment.
