What Makes Safety Management Systems Implementation Review & Workshop Different?

Because our courses are written by people who have lived through the regulations, from the introduction in the early 1990s of EASA Part 145 and the Introduction of JAR-OPS 1 in 1998 (later to become EASA EU OPS) together with the introduction of EASA Part M in 2003.

We were delivering training during the ICAO SMS Implementation year 2009 and the introduction into EASA OPS with regulation 965/2012
