What is New for 2016?
Welcome to our new Newsletter: all about compliance training for the aviation industry. We have updated our courses listing for 2016 and added some new, fresh & exciting ‘open’ courses (click here).
NEW – Fatigue Risk Management (FRM) – Aviation Maintenance
Why is ‘fatigue’ a risk to your organisation? The FAA have identified that ‘fatigue’ is one of the main causes of errors, incidents or major accidents / catastrophic events. Being able to recognise, manage the risks of ‘fatigue’ is not only the responsibility of the organisation but also the individual. By having an effect ‘fatigue risk management’ systems in place may reduce human factor events and potential to reduce / mitigate the risks that could support an effective Safety Management System (SMS).
This half-day course has been designed to increase awareness to those who manage and work within an aviation maintenance environment. This course could also contribute towards ‘Human Factors – Refresher’ training.
NEW – EASA Regulations – Essentials for Stores / Warehouse Personnel
Stores / Warehouse personnel are the ‘gate keepers’ to the organisation. They provide a valuable service to the prevention of suspected unapproved / bogus parts entering the organisation. The management of the bonded stores environment is crucial to an organisation success. Therefore, their understanding to meet challenges of the regulatory requirements is important.
This 1 day course has been designed to reflect the requirements of the EASA Part 145 regulation as the foundation and the interaction of the Part M and Part 21 requirements. The course will review the various equivalent types of documentation that may be received within the ‘Goods In’ and the potential errors that may be found. Plus other areas of the stores / warehouse function.
NEW – Quality Auditors Techniques Course
This 3 day course is aimed for those whose role involves the management, planning and the conducting of audits internally within their organisation and the auditing of external suppliers or contractors.
It is ideal for those who are new to quality auditors role or the safety compliance function within their organisation, responsible to ensure the regulations requirements are complied with and reducing the risk to their organisation. This course includes both theory and practical elements with case studies exercises to reinforce the learning experience.
“Trainer’s Feedback Corner – Top Tips”
We have delivered a high number of courses now, received course feedback and we thought it would be a good idea to provide feedback to help organisations with supporting ‘TopTips’ of information they can use.
‘January’s Top Tip’ – Where to find information can be a challenge for staff within an organisation, it’s constantly changing, being updated etc… We sometimes make assumptions that staff know where to find the information they should be using or making reference to.
We suggest organisations provide ‘sign posts’ or ‘reminders’ where specific or commonly used information can be found. As an example; ask yourself this question; do all your staff know where to find the MOE, POE, CAME….. ? There will be some people in the organisation who don’t know where to find it or what these documents are and their importance.
