Objective
In addition to the technical training courses offered by EASA, the EASA Virtual Academy is part of EASA’s efforts to ensure that harmonised and high-quality training is available especially to National Aviation Authorities (NAAs) staff.
The EASA Virtual Academy includes only regulatory courses that support the qualification of Member States’ NAAs personnel involved in approval and oversight activities (inspectors). The courses are provided by qualified external training organisations, selected by EASA through an approval procedure.
Courses
A total of eight classroom courses are currently offered as part of the EASA Virtual Academy. These are:

- the EASA ‘Basic Regulation’ (Regulation (EC) No 216/2008),
- the corresponding Implementing Rules, as well as
- the ‘Standardisation Regulation’ (Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 628/2013).
Each course is followed by an online examination to check the inspector’s knowledge.
