Course Overview

To support industry and Civil Aviation Authorities through challenging times, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and CAA International (CAAi) have jointly developed a unique virtual training classroom course.

Delivered by leading subject matter experts, participants will learn how to navigate compliance, training and operational challenges during the recovery period of a global pandemic.

The course provides CAA senior and middle managers with an overview of the necessary safety and security oversight and surveillance activities during the recovery phase of a pandemic.  It is also particularly beneficial for organisations that have applied for alleviations and exemptions or significantly reduced their business scope in terms of size, management infrastructure or complexity, during a pandemic or similar crisis.

The course aims to demonstrate how a CAA can review and assess how its industry has planned and prepared to restart operations. This will include the assessments of the Service Provider’s regulatory compliance and safety and security management during the Pandemic contractions and the recovery period.  Participants can translate this knowledge learnt for use in their professional environments.

The course is suitable for senior and middle managers of CAAs.  This would include the Director General, Managers of the Safety Management Department and Managers of oversight and surveillance departments.

It is also suitable for senior industry management personnel involved in the restart operations.

  • How CAA surveillance will need to be adapted
  • Safety risk-based surveillance during the pandemic
  • Resumption of normal oversight and surveillance
  • The management of the change process within the organisations’ Safety Management System (SMS).

Risk Monitoring & Safety Performance

The management of risks and monitoring safety performance are key roles within any safety management system. The identification & modelling of risks improves your understanding and allows you to create Safety Performance Indicators, providing reassurance to your business that your SMS isn’t just a policy on a shelf but a living system that enables you to deliver safety improvements.

Safety Management (Advanced) – Evaluating Effectiveness

A Safety Management System (SMS) within any organization provides a systematic approach to managing safety. For an SMS to be effective, there must be the necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, responsibilities, policies and procedures. An effective SMS should enable an organization to identify hazards, assess risks and can be the mechanism to continuously improve safety performance.
