COURSE OVERVIEW

The SMS for Managers course is designed to provide a thorough grounding in aviation SMS. With a focus on identifying methods that work for small to medium-sized operators, it delivers a comprehensive understanding of the principles of what a SMS is intended to deliver. All the elements of a SMS are discussed in a functional context. On completion of the course, students will be able to implement and operate their own SMS, and with skills and confidence to identify areas requiring improvement. There are plenty of examples from agricultural, tourism, airport, and adventure aviation sectors. The course continues to be revised with exercises to further support operators with an existing SMS in place. An extended risk management module makes sure that you can operate this critical area of SMS more confidently. Past students have enjoyed the practical realism of the course content, the sharing of information with other students and the focus on addressing their own questions in class. The workbook contains exercises and samples that provide a focus on the student’s own SMS implementation.

We are a recognised training provider by the NZ CAA and have achieved the highest (Category 1) rating by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority. Our tutors are renowned for their ability to deliver clear and practical training to operators at the coalface in the aviation sector in New Zealand and across the South Pacific. Our courses focus on delivering the skills you need without an excess of theory or irrelevant content. We tailor our delivery on an assumption that you will immediately return to work and practically apply SMS within your operation. We allow plenty of time for you to ask questions and for the tutor to explain issues relevant to you and your business. You will have the input of other students and the benefit of their recent experiences. We provide workbooks with templates and exercises that leave you with practical material that you can apply directly to your operation.
An endorsed Certificate of Completion will be awarded at the conclusion of the course.
