We deliver high-quality aviation maintenance human factors training for EASA Part 145 engineering organisations.

Our experienced training facilitators have practical knowledge in their fields and provide engaging, inspiring, and motivational training sessions. We have over 1000 satisfied clients, including leading airlines, and consistently achieve the highest levels of client satisfaction.
MHF Initial Training
Our MHF Initial Training program is a 2-day course which covers the aviation maintenance human factors training requirements for EASA Part 145 engineering organisations in accordance with GM 145.A.30 (e).
The programme gives a full introduction to Aviation Maintenance Human Factors and covers all topics of the Initial MHF training syllabus as specified in GM 145.A.30 (e). It is the aim of the training to raise awareness of human factor issues (both individual and organisational) and develop HF skills to make a positive impact on the safety, quality and efficiency of maintenance operations.
MHF Recurrent and Refresher Training
Our MHF Recurrent Training program is a 1-day course that offers a general refresher of human factors training, tailored to review HF issues identified by your organisation as causal factors in HF-related incidents.
We can conduct a training needs analysis to identify the individual needs and requirements of your organisation and target groups and design a training program that addresses specific issues such as quality audit findings, new systems and procedures, changes to approvals, and review of human factors and SMS. Our training programs are delivered at our purpose-built facilities in the UK, online via live instructor-led training, or in-company training at your location.
