Flight Safety & Safety Management

Objective

This course aims to provide participants with foundational knowledge of safety management principles and their application at both State and service provider levels. It supports ICAO's global objectives for effective SSP and SMS implementation and provides practical guidance for personnel involved in developing, implementing, and supporting safety management activities.

This comprehensive fifteen (15)-hour self-paced online course provides aviation professionals with foundational knowledge of ICAO safety management provisions and their application in State Safety Programmes (SSP) and Safety Management Systems (SMS) at the service provider level. Updated to reflect recent Amendment 2 to ICAO Annex 19 – Safety Management, the course is designed to build awareness, strengthen understanding, and support implementation aligned with global safety strategies.

It also serves as a prerequisite for other ICAO Safety Management virtual and classroom courses that include practical exercises, allowing participants to acquire the foundational knowledge required before engaging in instructor-led courses.
