On-line course
HUMAN FACTORS AND NON-TECHNICAL SKILLS IN AVIATION -INTRODUCTION
Learn about human factors in the aviation industry and how they affect you!
Our online Human Factors and Non-Technical Skills Training course will teach you human factors theory in aviation operations. You will learn about human error, the role of a Safety Management System (SMS), fatigue and stress management, communication, conflict resolution, leadership and decision-making principles, and how these factors influence human performance.
A sound understanding of human factors and non-technical skills is essential for flight crew, cabin crew and other operational safety-critical personnel to support safe and effective aviation operations.
Our Human Factors and Non-Technical Skills Training course covers all subject areas recommended by ICAO and CASA for flight crew, cabin crew and other operational safety-critical personnel.
You will learn through:
- Flexible on-line learning
- Self-paced
A certificate of completion will be awarded to participants who have successfully finished the course. This certificate verifies that you have completed formal training in the principles of human factors in aviation. This course is suitable for both initial and refresher training.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
How does Human Factors training help flight crew?
Human Factors training is integral to aviation safety, as it offers flight crew the necessary tools to identify and mitigate potential human errors that could lead to aviation accidents.
Through this training, flight crew learn how to recognize the effects of stress and fatigue on their performance and how to manage workloads effectively. Additionally, aviation Human Factors training helps enhance communication techniques between pilots and other personnel by teaching them good listening skills and assertive behaviours. Flight crews can ensure safe flying conditions for passengers and cargo by learning these skills through aviation Human Factors training.
Why do pilots need to know about Human Factors?
Aviation Human Factors is a field of study examining how humans interact with aviation systems.
It is essential to aviation safety, as it helps identify and address potential problems that could result in accidents or incidents. Pilots need to be aware of human factors to ensure the safe operation of their aircraft and maintain the highest levels of aviation safety.
Human factors can affect all aspects of aviation operations—from cockpit design and aircraft maintenance to crew performance and air traffic control procedures. Understanding these issues can help pilots make informed decisions about operating their aircraft, allowing them to fly more safely and efficiently.
What are non-technical skills in aviation?
Non-technical skills, also known as aviation human factors, refer to the cognitive and social abilities essential for aviation safety. These skills include decision-making, situational awareness, communication, problem-solving and other mental processes which help pilots respond appropriately in challenging situations. Additionally, non-technical skills encompass leadership qualities such as conflict resolution and motivating teams towards a common goal.
Non-technical aviation skills have become increasingly important in modern aviation due to the increasing complexity of aircraft systems and operations. As such, these abilities can be the difference between success and failure during critical moments in flight.
Can I learn aviation Human Factors via an online course?
Learning aviation Human Factors is possible through online courses.
Aviation Human Factors covers many topics such as cockpit resource management, aviation safety, aviation psychology and physiology. This knowledge can be used to improve the safety and efficiency of aviation operations.
Online courses provide an opportunity for students to gain this valuable knowledge without having to attend physical classes. These courses are designed to easily access any device with internet access and allow learners to study at their own pace while still receiving quality instruction from experienced instructors. With online learning becoming more popular than in previous years, it is now easier than ever for aviation professionals to receive comprehensive training in aviation human factors without leaving home.
