Specialized Technical Competences Developed in the Training of Specialist in Meteorology

Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether the Training Course for Sergeants (CFS) at the School for Specialists in Aeronautics (EEAR) has developed, since 2005, the Meteorology students’ (BMT) skills for the aforemetioned specialized technical field. The professionals who have competence in their area of expertise are able to add values, knowledge and skills to solve both daily and unusual situations. Thus, this research sought to focus on the curriculum structure of the course, on the view of the instructor about their teaching practice, on the view of the undergraduate student about their training and future operational performance, and on the view of the Meteorologist officer about the sergeant received during the considered period. The result revealed by the survey showed that the CFS BMT has developed, since the considered period, the students’ competence to do the job expected from the sergeants after their training.
