About the course

The Advanced Accident and Incident Investigation course trains aviation professionals to conduct thorough safety investigations. This program follows the introductory course and focuses on practical skills. Participants gain hands-on experience that helps them confidently analyze aviation events and contribute to safety improvements.

In this course, delegates collect and analyze evidence, interview witnesses, and examine human factors. They identify root causes and contributing factors. The training uses international standards, including ICAO Annex 13, so participants apply globally recognized investigation practices.

The course emphasizes report writing. Participants draft clear and concise investigation reports. They build event timelines, document factual information, and propose actionable safety recommendations. These skills help safety managers and teams strengthen Safety Management Systems (SMS) in their organizations.

Participants also explore modern investigative tools, digital evidence sources, and the role of safety culture in accident prevention. Real-life case studies and scenario exercises allow learners to apply techniques immediately. Trainers guide participants to develop teamwork and communication skills needed in real investigations.

By the end of the Advanced Accident and Incident Investigation program, participants can actively lead or support aviation investigations. They understand both minor and complex events. This course suits airline staff, airport personnel, safety inspectors, and anyone aiming to enhance their investigation skills.

The program balances practical exercises with essential theory. It equips delegates to perform high-quality investigations that improve safety outcomes. Participants leave the course prepared to apply advanced investigative techniques within their teams and contribute to a safer aviation environment worldwide
