About Us
Despite recent challenges related to the COVID19 pandemic, the aviation sector is one the most important and growing sectors of global economy. ILO estimates that employment in the aviation sector will increase from 1.45 M (2017) to 2.25 M employees in 2037 (new estimation due to pandemic, prior estimation was for 2.9)
The above manifest the importance for vocational education (of all levels) in the field as a tool for economic and social development. Jordan is no exception to this need and at the time being a Technical Diploma is not available for the Aviation Safety Management System (SMS) is not available in Jordan. There only exist seminars in very narrow subject, which are offered for very large fees.
The first aim of this project will be to offer such an SMS Professional Diploma in Aviation, which will be an all in one certificate and reduce to minimum time need to provide such experts in this field. It will also be a cost effective training encouraging aviation companies to promote personnel upskilling without think of their budget during this troublesome times.
The general outline of the programme will focus on how to implement an efficient SMS at an airport and promote a safety culture within an aviation organization. It will include subjects such as:
- Introduction to Hazard Identification, Categories of Hazards, Qualitative Risk Assessment, Hazard Effect / Hazard Severity, Probability / Likelihood, Practical exercises.
- Gain clarity on the main aviation insurance conventions and protocols, types of coverage available, and practices for insuring hull and liability risks.
- Study threat assessment and planning techniques to comply with recent regulations changes. Learn to apply common industry practices.
- Review the latest industry regulations for airlines and the airport security operations. Learn best practices for analyzing and prevent common threats
- Learn the basics of operational aviation security with an overview of recent threats and technological developments. Review ICAO and IATA documentation plus standard international procedures.
- Build solid skills in aviation security, its regulations, concepts and recommended practice.
- Improve aviation security knowledge, and study security regulations, concepts and recommended practices.
- Assure efficient and compliant security operations with this detailed review of industry standards, risk assessment and people management practices.
- Learn how to evaluate contractors, manage contracts and implement airport security countermeasures that support passenger facilitation.
- Learn the essentials of IATA’s SMS initiative, and how it can make an organization IATA Operational Safety Audit IOSA compliant. Leave the course with tools to build a SMS that produces measurable and auditable results.
- Create efficiency in your screening operations with these skills to evaluate the capabilities and limitations of technology and team.
- Improve knowledge of international air cargo law conventions and recommended practices to better serve an organization and clients.
As part of creating different upskills paths, during the project implementation, three post graduate level MOOCs will be created and offered. These may become the future basis for a joint industrial master’s degree in the field.
The general objectives of the project are:
- Increase the capacities of VET providers especially in the fields of management, governance, inclusion, quality assurance, innovation; and internationalisation
- Improve the knowledge, technical, managerial and pedagogical skills of VET teachers and trainers
- Integrate the input from teachers/trainers, VET learners and employers, from private sector in particular, into curriculum, profile design and training reform
- Improve the level of competences, skills and employability potential of VET learners by developing new and innovative VET education programmes, especially those delivering key competences, basic language, and ICT skills.
- Inclusion and Diversity, by proactively engaging female trainees and by aiming to train persons which will not consist of more than 2/3 of the same gender (non-binary).
- Digital dimension and in particular 3D digitalisation
