Expert Aviation SMS Training Using SMS Pro
SCSI SMS expert instructors, who have actually worked implementing SMS in organizations, have created and constantly update our SMS certificate program. Based on student feedback over the past six years and experience and lessons learned in implementing SMS in airlines both large and small, as well as incorporating the newest guidelines published by ICAO and regulatory agencies such as Transport Canada and the FAA, the SMS certificate program now consists of the following courses:
- SMS - Essentials (SMS-E). This course presents and discusses the organizational components of an SMS and the SMS Risk Control Process to aviation safety professionals who may know nothing about Safety Management Systems, or those who may simply want to review their SMS and make sure all the pieces are in place. Toward that end, the course shows attendees how to do a "Gaps Analysis" which focuses on how to discover any Gaps in your current SMS and Risk Control Process. SMS Pro includes a GAP Analysis module for organizations to trend progress over time and document their progress.
- SMS Workshop (SMS-W). Designed to be a practical "close the gaps" workshop with a focus on how to discover "gaps" in an SMS and then the workshop presents and discusses how to apply the tools and techniques that can close "gaps" that have been identified in a gaps analysis.
- Human and Organizational Factors in Safety Management Systems (HOFSMS). This course focuses on the human and organizational factors (organizational behavior, communication, change. climate and culture) in creating, transitioning to or implementing an SMS. Topics include the well known ways people resist change, and ways to successfully overcome resistance to change.
- Operational Risk Management (ORM). This course focuses on the Risk Control Process and teaches safety professionals "management talk" and how to "make the business case for SMS" to managers at all levels.
