The objective of this training is to familiarise Verifiers with the aviation industry, its regulatory requirements, operating procedures, safety standards and the on-board and ground systems involved in aviation fuel and load planning, handling and usage.

This training will ensure that Aircraft Operators do not need to brief Verifiers on aviation basics, prior to commencing the verification (audit) process. It will also help minimise the potential for health safety incidents and provide Verifiers with a “working knowledge” of the industry (as required by EA-6/03).
