Why this course

Build the foundations of safe, efficient crew performance in helicopter/VTOL operations. This CRM Initial Hybrid Course translates EASA requirements into practical behaviours—decision-making, communication, coordination—using helicopter-focused cases. For operators, the public sessions format offers a cost-effective path to upskill crews without the overhead of a private delivery.

Flexible learning, zero travel

Study at your own pace, around duty rosters and operations. You’ll have 6 months of access to all modules, so you can revisit lessons, complete assignments, and apply concepts on the job without time pressure. Two live sessions consolidate learning through practice and debrief.
