Aeronautical knowledge for safety (AK4S)

EXPAND KNOWLEDGE - ENHANCE SAFETY:

You want to make sure your staff is equipped with all the aeronautical knowledge they need to support safety in your company and help build your case for safety excellence with your insurance broker at the time of renewal. But it is difficult and expensive to continuously train new staff members at both operational and mid-management levels on crucial safety knowledge and skills. This course takes away some of the pain for employers of onboarding new staff and will help you retain staff too.

This course provides a solid appreciation of the risks and safety components related to the daily working environment at the airport. The course assists employers with affordable induction training, motivates staff and gives them both an outline for further professional development opportunities. It was developed by industry experts from the Netherlands and Zambia and tested by new and experienced staff in four African countries.

Nine hours of video presentations will guide participants through 6 modules. Each module ends with a number of questions that have to be answered. The videos in each module can be viewed as many times as desired before answering the questions. However, each question can be answered only once. In case a participant fails a module, she/he can repeat that entire module only once.

The course has three online Question & Answer (Q&A) sessions that participants must attend. In those online Q & A sessions, topics will be discussed and questions from participants answered. The course ends with an online, live oral assessment in which participants are assessed for their knowledge and skills.
