About the course

Safety Management System (SMS) Implementation and Control is a practical course designed for aviation professionals who want to build and manage an effective safety system. The program gives you the tools to implement SMS in a clear, phased, and manageable way. It also helps you meet regulatory requirements and improve the overall safety culture in your airline.

The course starts with an SMS overview. This section helps you check your current knowledge and understand the core structure of a Safety Management System. You then learn the basics of SMS design and preparation, including how to develop policies, processes, and responsibilities.

Core Modules of SMS Implementation and Control

A key part of the training is the phased approach to SMS implementation. This method allows your organization to introduce SMS step by step. It reduces workload and helps teams adapt more easily. You will also learn how to perform an SMS gap analysis. This analysis highlights missing elements and supports the creation of a clear action plan.

The course places strong focus on safety risk management. You learn how to identify hazards, assess risks, and apply mitigation measures. Another important section is operational safety assurance and promotion. These modules show you how to monitor safety performance, encourage safe behavior, and communicate safety information across the organization.

Building a strong safety reporting culture is also a major objective. The training explains how to design reporting systems that are simple, transparent, and trusted by employees. You will also study management of change, which helps you evaluate the safety impact of operational or organizational changes.

The final part of the course covers SMS continuous improvement. This ensures your system remains effective and aligned with your airline’s evolving needs.
