| Enhanced Logbook Signing Authority (ELSA) | | | What is ELSA? The goal of the Enhanced Logbook Signing Authority (ELSA) project is to review, and amend where necessary, current policies and procedures for certifying aviation maintenance and aerospace manufacturing workers in all 24 occupations currently certified by the Canadian Aviation Maintenance Council. The project will focus primarily on the criteria required to become an Evaluator, conditions under which Evaluators are authorized to operate, methods used to perform evaluations and industry access to Evaluators. Background In order to ensure that candidates for certification meet or exceed the industry standards for their occupation, CAMC maintains an extensive roster of Logbook Evaluators. These Logbook Evaluators must be nominated by their employer and approved by CAMC before they are authorized to verify and certify the workplace experience and individual task-level competencies of candidates. The current system for certifying Evaluators and evaluating logbooks has a number of issues of concern with regards to the efficient and effective certification of the workforce: · Evaluators have no mobility – authority to perform evaluations stops when the evaluator leaves his current employment; · Evaluators have limited scope within the labour market – evaluators can only evaluate candidates working in the same company; · Current policies and regulatory requirements allow for evaluators who are not CAMC certified; · The Council has no direct control over who is nominated for Evaluator status; · Candidates for occupational certification working in some small and medium sized enterprises or who hold international credentials or experience are unable to find an approved Evaluator All of these factors have led to the identification of a requirement to review and update CAMC’s system for worker certification.
