About the course

5-day (40 hours) classroom course

A complete and up-to-date legal and regulatory framework constitutes one of the cornerstones of an effective civil aviation system that is safe, secure, regular, sustainable and efficient. Some States may need reform of their civil aviation laws and regulations due to: existing legal and regulatory instruments being outdated or not covering the latest amendments to the ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs); gaps in critical areas related to safety and security oversight; or inadequate provisions for economic aspects of civil aviation law and regulations. This course is designed to provide the essential knowledge and skills which will enable State officials at all levels to adequately plan, manage, control and complete the modernization of State civil aviation laws and regulations in order to adequately reflect national policies and to comply with international obligations.

*This course has been recognized by the Quebec Bar Association and will provide 30 CLI credits.
