Learning outcomes are assessed through continuous assignments completed within the e-learning system, independent study of the recommended literature, and individual consultations with the course instructor.
The requirements for successful completion of the course and the award of the graded credit are:
- successful completion of a continuous online test;
- submission of a semester project focused on the design, implementation, or evaluation of a Safety Management System within a civil aviation organization;
- successful defence of the semester project during an individual consultation or through an online presentation;
- achievement of at least 51% of the total assessment score.
The semester project will primarily focus on one of the following topics:
- design and implementation of a Safety Management System within a civil aviation organization;
- development and evaluation of Safety Performance Indicators (SPIs);
design of an internal safety audit programme;
- analysis of safety data and proposal of corrective and preventive actions;
- assessment of the maturity of a Safety Management System and the proposal of measures for its continuous improvement.
