Program News:

  • The 2025 Engineering Designee Recurrent Training Program is now open for registration.
  • The Designee Registration System (DRS) will be decommissioned on December 9th, 2025, and replaced by the Designee Management System (DMS). Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) and ODA Engineering Unit Members will continue to use DRS until September 30, 2025 to access training. For those who do not complete their recurrent training by September 30th, DRS will remain available for completion of 2025 recurrent training until November 15th. DERs and ODA Engineering Unit Members will transition to DMS on January 1, 2026 for the 2026 Training Year.

The Engineering Designee Training Program offers a blend of Initial and Recurrent training. Our training is developed to convey current and new policy, and provide applicable technical information to Engineering Designees, ODA UMs, ODA Administrators and the FAA Engineers who manage these Designees and Delegated Organizations.
