Training opportunity in the Top End

Sat, 14 Aug 2010 09:28:00 +1000

Peter Ball from CASA sent this through - apologies if you have already received it.

Top level training opportunities usually combine the need to send staff away for long periods with associated high cost involvement.

Thankfully this is not always the case;

I have been approached by the International Society of Air Safety Investigators(ISASI) to determine the level of interest in running one of their
"Reachout" courses in Darwin in the October/November period.

You can research "ISASI" and "reachout program" on the ISASI website;

http://www.isasi.org/reachout_tp.html

This would be an excellent opportunity to obtain targeted training delivered locally for minimal cost. ISASI are a not for profit organisation,

as a result the cost of the training will be between 300 to $400 per person depending on number of participants.

This money is used to cover costs of air travel and accommodation for program staff and cost of venue hire.

A draft copy of the course content is attached, the course could be shortened to three days without a dramatic reduction in content.

Which stands for Recreational Aviation Administration Organisations (RAAOs). CASA has been very busy getting all twenty something of these organisations under one roof and ensuring that our governance procedures are up to scratch. For those interested in reading John McCormick's speech. (John is the boss of CASA - formally is the Director of Aviation Safety. I have in this post a couple of very useful and important links that help understand the way the relationship between CASA and RA-Aus is heading.
