Course Providers Sought To Create Additional Content
The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) today
announced the approval of six new Professional Development Program
(PDP) Courses offered by five different PDP providers. NBAA also
seeks new educational providers to develop additional courses.
The new offerings listed below are described by course number,
title and PDP objective.
- Aviation Training Solutions has two new courses approved that
are each available in a one day class format with a flexible
schedule. The first course is called Effective Leadership in
Business Aviation and it meets PDP objective L3. This course
explains the qualities of good leadership and hope to motivate and
achieve results within a flight department. The second course
called Enhancing Productivity through Business Aviation meets
objective BM1 and relates the various transportation solutions and
how they can be incorporated into the corporate culture of the
business aviation flight department.
- Aviem International, Inc. offers the approved course,
"Emergency Planning for Business Aviation" that includes developing
and implementing a disaster recovery plan for the business aviation
flight department (Ops5).
- Convergent Performance LLC was approved for a course titled
"Pilot Reliability Certification" that covers basic human factors
in business aviation (PM9).
- Ohio University has an approved course called "Business in
Aviation" that plans for corporate travel analysis and the concepts
of fitting the flight department into a corporate culture
(BM1).
- Sinclair Community College, has "Principles of Aviation
Leadership (AVT-141)" that outlines the methods for developing a
strategic mission and vision statement for the flight department.
(L1, L2).
NBAA's Professional Development Program provides a curriculum
for the education of current and future business aviation managers.
The program encourages participation in coursework, recognizes
outstanding candidates and participants, and rewards those seeking
careers in business aviation.
PDP Courses also are a means of preparing individuals to become
NBAA Certified Aviation Managers (CAMs), though participation in
PDP is not required for participation in the CAM Program.
NBAA seeks providers for additional PDP Courses. Traditionally,
established training organizations and educational institutions
provide PDP Courses through a variety of convenient and flexible
delivery methods, including Internet courses, video instructions
and on-site seminars. Individuals and organizations interested in
becoming PDP-approved providers should contact NBAA. The deadline
for provider and course submissions is January 15, 2010; NBAA's PDP
Review Committee will make selections in spring, 2010.
