Airfield Operations Learning, Development and Assessment Services

enabling individuals to work safely and competently within a live airfield environment

Working on an airfield carries inherent safety risks for both people, aircraft and vehicles. So how does an airport ensure....

• • They are meeting the required compliance regulations
  • Their training strategy is fit for purpose
  • They can prove an individual is competent and has the required knowledge and skills
  • A safe, compliant, and efficient airfield operation, that satisfies all key stakeholders
  • The training is of an equal standard
  • Prove and demonstrate the ongoing ability and competence of the direct airport team, as well as external stakeholders
  • It delivers a safe management system (SMS) with regard to training

Delivered by qualified trainers and assessors with many years of first-hand experience, apmc provides training courses that focus on delivering a blended learning solution. This encourages full class involvement, practical demonstration, and fun learning that is measured to ensure the full benefit has been achieved.
Our core airfield operations training provision has the benefit of being delivered at our client’s location. The training courses and subjects available can be tailored to our client’s specific requirements, thus ensuring the content is completely relevant to their needs. A tailored course will be aligned to an airport’s local environment, and their existing processes and procedures, as well as dovetailing the lecturer’s knowledge and experience of many other UK and international airports.

The objectives and content of a course can be set at a foundation, development or advanced level as required. A course duration can range from 1 to 5 days or if required for longer duration depending on exact requirements.
