About this program

Human factors are a fundamental component of maintaining safety within the aviation industry. This Human Factors in Aviation Training Course introduces participants to core concepts such as human performance, decision-making, fatigue management, effective communication, and situational awareness that influence aviation operations.
The curriculum is based on ICAO and EASA human factors frameworks, emphasizing how personnel in airlines, air traffic control, and airport environments can reduce errors, improve coordination, and foster a robust safety culture. Real-world case studies of incidents and accidents demonstrate the significant impact of human factors on aviation outcomes.
Upon completion, participants will possess practical tools to identify human limitations, manage associated risks, and implement human factors strategies in their everyday responsibilities.
