Conduct a Training Needs Assessment
• Survey and Interviews - Conduct surveys and interviews with Business Areas to identify knowledge gaps and training needs.
- Focus on questions about their understanding of risk management processes and their role.
• Performance Data Analysis - Analyze past incidents, audit reports, and performance data to identify areas lacking training.
- Look for patterns in the data that indicate common areas of weakness or misunderstanding.
• Regulatory Requirements - Review regulatory and industry standards related to aviation safety and risk management.
- Ensure that all training aligns with these standards.
Develop Training Objectives
• Identify Core Competencies - Define the core competencies required for each role related to risk management.
- These could include risk assessment, incident reporting, emergency response, and safety communication.

- Ensure objectives align with both organizational goals and regulatory requirements.
Design Training Content

- Use feedback to improve the training program continuously.
Evaluate Training Effectiveness
• Assessments and Tests - Include assessments and tests to evaluate participants’ understanding and retention of the material.
- Use pre-and post-training assessments to measure knowledge gain.
• Follow-Up and Refresher Courses - Schedule regular follow-up and refresher training to reinforce learning.
