Prior Learning Assessment Policy
A prior learning assessment is conducted whenever a student transfers to Langley Flying School from another flight training unit, including students from foreign countries.

Prior Learning Assessments are conducted by the Flight Instructor in consultation with Chief Flying Instructor.  Assessments will seek to balance Transport Canada training requirements and standards for flight and written testing, on the one hand, with minimizing student expense.

Procedure

The Flight Instructor assigned a student needing a Prior Learning Assessment will compile copies of the student’s prior training, including all groundschool and flight training records.  When possible, prior training records will be scanned and saved on the students file.  The Flight Instructor will then meet with Chief Flying Instructor to develop a strategy to smoothly transition the student into Langley Flying School programs.  A brief summary of the this transition plan will be recorded on the EQA 22 Prior Learning Assessment Report, linked on the school's staff page, and a copy of this assessment will summarized in a memo to file and placed on student's electronic file.
