Our core business is built on teaching how to prevent and how to investigate aircraft accidents. To accomplish this SCSI offers three certificate programs as well as a variety of specialty (elective) courses.

Highly qualified and experienced faculty

SCSI faculty have from 15 to 35 years of experience in aviation safety, both in military and commercial settings. Most of them are pilots, and most have advanced degrees. Several are Certified Safety Professionals (CSPs), Professional Engineers (PEs), or Certified Hazard Control Managers (CHCMs).

Intensive one and two week courses for busy professionals

Our goal is to meet your aviation safety training needs. Toward that end, SCSI has prepared and scheduled the courses shown on course schedule. These courses are in an intensive format designed for busy working professionals who are responsible for preventing or investigating aircraft accidents in business, industry, and in commercial airlines. Each course is essentially a "total immersion" course in which a series of topics are presented in a condensed time frame. Actual class time is typically between 40 and 80 hours over a one or two week period.

Dramatic savings possible when SCSI brings courses to your site

Any SCSI course can be taken to a location selected by you. By bringing these courses to your site, you no longer must pay for the cost of travel, lodging, and per diem for each participant. Your tuition and travel savings can be dramatic when you contract with SCSI to deliver a course at your site.

New courses developed and tailored to meet your unique needs

If none of the current SCSI courses meet your needs, we will design a new course to meet your specific needs. In these cases we carefully assess your needs and then develop and present one or more courses tailored to meet those specific needs.

SCSI's goal: Meet your aviation safety training needs - anywhere, anytime.
