& High-Risk Industries
Southpac Aerospace provides Human Factors training for aviation, safety-critical and high-risk industry professionals.
Human factors play a critical role in aviation safety and performance. Understanding how people interact with systems, procedures, environments and each other can help organisations reduce risk, strengthen communication and make better operational decisions.
Southpac Aerospace provides practical Human Factors training for the aviation industry, designed for maintenance personnel, operational teams, managers and leaders. Our courses explore the factors that influence human performance, including fatigue, communication, situational awareness, decision making, error, organisational culture and the conditions in which people work.
Our training is aligned with CASA Part 145 and EASA Part-145 Human Factors training requirements, and can be delivered as face-to-face classroom training, virtual classroom training, and flexible online learning.
