Human resources, one of the eight areas of the International Civil Aviation Organization-Universal Safety Oversight Audit Program (ICAO-USOAP), necessitate Indonesia, as an ICAO member, to develop competent and certified personnel compliant with international regulations. ICAO focus on the importance of professional personnel with various certifications and extensive knowledge in administrative, economic, technical, regulatory, and international relations aspects. This qualitative case study evaluates the needs of students in ICAO within vocational higher education under the Ministry of Transportation. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis from Indonesian Aviation Polytechnics, engaging various aviation sector stakeholders for in-depth insights into student needs. Ethical standards were maintained by obtaining consent from all interviewees, ensuring data confidentiality, and exclusive use for research purposes. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns in understanding and implementing courses related to regulations and ICAO. Findings revealed that there are no standards of the materials, resulting in significant differences in understanding and implementing courses related to regulations and ICAO. A deep understanding of these courses is crucial for students in their global aviation industry roles. The analysis results informed recommendations for improving the curriculum and teaching materials at Aviation Polytechnics Indonesia, highlighting their vital role in preparing human resources for the government and aviation industry. Thus, guidance, including reference books, is needed to help students understand the roles, functions, and authorities of international organizations in international civil aviation administration, ensuring harmonization.
