A well prepared MTA would provide critical input to support and address the needs other ILS elements, such as training and technical publications development. The technical publication would utilize data such as the detailed task description, which also provide valuable input for the development of maintenance training courses and support material.

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. The delegates will also be encouraged to raise their own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using their own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course
