Before routing the finalized FEA to the Curriculum Control Authority (CCA), to whom should the FEA approval request be sent?

• A. Route directly to CCA
• B. Submit to the Quality Assurance team
• C. Send the FEA approval request to the requirement Sponsor
• D. Obtain sign-off from the Program Manager

Answer: (C)

The key step is to obtain the approval from the requirement sponsor—the person or office responsible for the training requirement. The sponsor verifies that the finalized FEA properly supports the documented need, has the correct scope, and aligns with available resources and program goals. Their sign-off provides essential stakeholder validation before the curriculum-level review with the Curriculum Control Authority. Going straight to the CCA would bypass this crucial validation, and the QA team or PM sign-off aren’t the correct gate for confirming the requirement’s alignment and justification at this stage.
