Hi all.
If I want to become a CRM instructor and gain some sort of proper and standardised qualification in this topic, what do I have to do and how does it work?
What does your regulator require? Look at CAP 737 on the UK CAA website for the UK framework. However, essentially, do a train the trainer course, maybe with a CRM slant. Gain some experience working with another CRMI, then get checked out (if you need it).
Thanks.
I'm based in Sweden and I've asked our CAA about this. They have yet to answer my question. I did however find a university programme under the name human factors which might be of interest. It is however a 3 year programme and comparing that to previously mentioned "couple of months" makes me ask the question, is it overkill or is the suggested Global Air Training course insufficient?
I'll let SE-CAA answer my question before I make any decisions.
the reference to 'couple of months' is what is required in the UK after you have done the training and before you get the accreditation. I think only the UK requires accreditation. There are several course providers and 3 days is not uncommon; some are 5. To be honest, the length of course you really need is more than most people would be prepared to pay for - which is why they expect a period of supervised practice in the UK
Have you tried Lund University. The were doing a CRM facilitators course spread over a number of weeks. Or if you can get to Salzburg I am running a 3 day course at the end of September!
