A Comprehensive Measurement Tool
AMCAT is a comprehensive testing system
designed to determine the professional
development requirements of airport
managers.
AMCAT is based on over a decade of
extensive empirical research developed
by a team of airport subject matter
experts, organizational psychologists and
educational technologists.


Areas of Competency
AMCAT is comprised of a series of validated measurement tools that assess airport managers on three dimensions:
- Airport management knowledge
- Leadership personality
- Managerial judgement
- Competency development
- Performance improvement
- Leadership development
- Succession planning
The Concept
High-performance airports rely on the strong collaboration of multidisciplinary teams composed of
high-performing individuals from various backgrounds and specialties. To achieve superior business
results, teams are focused on their goals, taking into account rigorous industry best practices and
national regulations. AMCAT captures a clear image of strengths and developmental areas for both
teams and individuals.
Sample Reports

Airport Knowledge
Reports, generated for both individuals and for the management team, provide insight about the candidates' level of knowledge on the 14 areas of airport management. A report on silo effects within the group can also
be provided.
Leadership Abilities
The leadership personality component of the report indicates managerial and interpersonal leadership abilities.


Management Competencies
The ability of managers to make effective decisions when handling real-life situations is evaluated
through the managerial judgment component.

help an airport develop its managers to meet ongoing and future
