Annual Monitoring of all Instructors
You may recall that we sent out a
Bulletin in December 2013 with regards to the Regulatory Bodies requirements for each and every Instructor to be monitored annually to comply with their regulations.
This is done on an Annual basis from January to December, with a requirement for you to submit to Nuco a completed monitoring report for 2014 by no later then the 31st December 2014.
If you attend an Instructor Update course with ourselves during the calendar year, we will not require a monitoring report in that year from yourself as the course includes monitoring.
You can organise your own monitoring or request us to arrange this for you. If you wish to arrange this yourself then you may ask a suitably qualified associate or use the
Instructor Finder feature in Nucoplus to send a message to all Instructors in your area to locate a willing monitor. Any fees or reciprocal arrangements agreed for this service will be between yourself and the monitor and we can take no responsibility over this.
If you wish us to arrange monitoring for you, then we can do so for a fee of £125+VAT. This fee covers a payment of £100 to the appointed Monitor and a £25 administration fee.
The Monitor must be a qualified Instructor in the subject being monitored and independent in that he/she is not directly involved with the course being monitored. From 1st October 2015 Monitors must also possess a formal IQA qualification or have attended CPD training in IQA - See the
December 2013 Newsletter.
The monitoring exercise must be undertaken in an honest and professional manner and should cover at least half a day which includes the final assessment process. We have designed a
Monitoring Report Template with guidance notes, for completion by the monitor. This is also available in our document download area.
On completion, the Monitor should discuss his/her observations with the Instructor in private and both should then sign the report. The Monitor will provide a copy of his/her written report to the Instructor and a copy for Nuco Training for retention in the Instructor's portfolio for FAA audit purposes.
