Course Overview

This Aviation SMS Course is a complete SMS package. It includes essential fundamental safety concepts required for SMS, where SMS has evolved from, why it is required and what each component and element mean. Most importantly, the course details how your SMS should work as a system, and not just the sum of individual elements.

It also discusses ICAO input and NAA State Safety Program requirements. There is information on the critical need for safety culture and the Human Factors required to effect this. The course will also include how to implement SMS and what is required to make it compliant. There is a combination of theory, case studies and practical exercises to fully optimise the learning experience.

While the course utilises the ICAO SMS structure as the underlying basis, it is appropriate to students from all jurisdictions, with relevant structures explored and discussed in-course.

This course incorporates latest materials and case studies as well as taking an innovative approach to SMS delivery. Participants will gain more value than ever before with post-course access to a host of templates and guidance information to support their own SMS development and implementation.
