/ DESIGNED BY INDUSTRY FOR INDUSTRY

DR ADAM FLETCHER
CEO of Integrated Safety Support and Adjunct Professor at the University of South Australia

“The Fatigue Management micro-credential is a first for aviation in Australia, and quite possibly the world. The knowledge gained by students from the course will enhance their ability to remain safe and productive in our 24-hour industry.”

JULIAN SZATERS
Head of Flying, BAE Systems Australia

“Collaborating with the amazing team on this aviation aerospace course has almost been as great as flying.”

LINDA SPURR
Project Founder - Aviation Aerospace Fundamentals
Board Director, Aviation

"A lot of what is covered in the Aviation Aerospace Fundamentals training is information that has otherwise taken most of us years and even decades to acquire! I wish it was available when I was starting out!"

PETER MCMAHON
Managing Director, Aviation Rescue Services

“It’s not hard to have a passion for my job…it’s a passion for LIFE!”

ROBERT SUTTON
Director, Mirragin Unmanned Systems

“I am passionate about using technology to make a difference in the world, which is why I love drones so much. Drones are an essential tool for helping to keep your people free from harm, and often are cheaper and can do more too!”

SHARON STANTON
Safety and Airline QA Manager Tasman Cargo Airlines

“I have been in the aviation industry for more than 30 years and for me, it’s second nature, but for those joining the industry it can be overwhelming. From learning the acronyms (and there’s a lot, you can literally have a conversation with just acronyms) to working in a high risk safety critical environment in one of the most heavily regulated industries.”

“Being able to impart my knowledge and experience through the development of the Aviation Aerospace Fundamentals Certificate gives new comers to the industry the basics and provides a solid foundation to navigate your career in this fantastic industry.”

THOMAS DYKE
Air Traffic Controller at Airservices Australia

“The Air Traffic Management Micro credential is a fantastic resource to learn the fundamentals of Air Traffic Control and everything that happens in the background to make it happen. The course has been developed with a number of industry professionals including current working Air Traffic Controllers like myself.

Air Traffic Control is a dynamic, fast paced job which challenges me every day – from inflight emergencies to dealing with significant en route delays, each shift is different.”

LIBBY BAKEWELL
Human Factors Specialist, Course Facilitator and Aviation Auditor

“Having been involved in the development and delivery of some of the short courses, I’m excited that the industry now through these micro credentials, is training relevant and up to date information on the aviation industry. The courses are the result of collaboration with industry experts who not only pass on the theory but have applied it to real life situations in our industry.

The huge value of these short courses is that in as little as one day you can receive training on aviation topics that have been developed by current aviation industry experts. It’s always better for learning to hear how theory actually relates to real life.”

LESLEY CONDON
Exec Manager UAV Training Australia

“Technologies are changing at such a fast pace and its fantastic to have the opportunity to work with some brilliant minds and see the next generation of education and technology coming through.”

MICHAEL WHITE
Aviation Safety Advisor, CASA

“Aviation safety does not happen by accident. It requires complex systems, well trained, educated and motivated people with specific and broad skills, and unremitting hard work. While the regulations provide the foundation for safe operations, your motivation and education gained from the micro-credentials will encourage you to extend your encounter with aviation safety performance to that beyond compliance with safety regulations.”

RICK HEATON
General Manager Flight Operations/Chief Pilot Network Aviation

“Someone once asked me what aircraft I most love, my response was “the one I am flying at any given time!”

SARAH MCSWINEY
Composites Technology Manager, Boeing Research and Technology

“I am really excited about the Aviation and Aerospace fundamentals course. I hope these high quality introductory micro-credentials will open our wonderful industry up to a new pipeline of diverse talent, who will be able to understand all the exciting roles that are available and the pathway to their chosen career.”

STEPHEN ANGUS
Aviation Consultant (former EGM Air Traffic Management)

“I have been delighted to contribute to a number of the topics in this program. This is ground breaking for those considering a career in aviation and an engaging learning program.”

Fiona Knowles
Executive Manager, Major Projects PAVE, Swinburne University of Technology

“Working with the range of Aviation and Aerospace experts has highlighted my skills and knowledge in this area. The short courses designed are relevant, up to date and customised training and education to meet the need of the workforce. Being able to be a part of design and development of these courses was dynamic, exciting and rewarding.”
