Re: Human Factors Training
1(a). We do our own Human Factors training in-house in our (EASA Part 147 approved) technical training centre. We do occasionally bring in third party consultants for particular courses, especially in areas where we find it difficult to keep up with current trends and practices. For example we recently used a training consultancy to run a series of Health and Safety seminars in our own classrooms.
1(b). This training is required for maintaining Part 145 and FAA repair station approvals, so it can already be considered 'compulsory'.
2. Two or three days is about right.
3. Prices charged vary according to location and charging policy. I.e. Consider local labour rates, overheads and desired mark-up.
4. There are lots. Googling 'air transport MRO management publications' will bring up a few of the more significant ones
