Course summary
Cranfield University, in partnership with CAA International*, launched this course in 2020 to provide a spectrum of technical knowledge in the context of safety management, risk and regulation in aviation. It is developed for safety professionals and regulators to deepen their understanding of safety management, risk-based regulation, law and human factors. Professionals working in aerospace, commercial air transport industries, and regulators must possess detailed knowledge of existing and emerging safety management issues facing the industry during the design, production, operation, and maintenance of products and systems. This enables the aviation industry and regulatory authorities to make more informed risk management decisions, ultimately leading to safer, more cost-effective operations. The course aims to provide a globally unique offering to meet the needs of safety professionals in the industry and the regulator, offering the opportunity to engage with real safety problems of today and future challenges. *CAA International is the training and advisory services arm of the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
