Acronym for "Aviation Industry Computer-Based Training Committee"
AICC is an international association created in 1988 to develop technology-based training guidelines in response to the growing need to standardise computer-based vocational training products across multiple industry platforms. AICC-compatible e-learning courses have built-in interoperability across multiple e-learning platforms and let you track learner activities during their training period (i.e. number of times learners connect to the platform, their scores, viewing history, etc.).
