Lift-off safely and securely into the ‘new normal’
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.
Course Overview
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.
Who should attend?
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.
