Tabletop training, drills, and exercises are vital for all aviation organisations to prepare for diverse crisis situations and minimise the impact on daily operations. As a training provider, we emphasise the critical role of these activities in enhancing preparedness, response capabilities, and decision-making skills. By simulating various scenarios such as aircraft emergencies, security breaches, or natural disasters, organisations can identify weaknesses, test response protocols, and improve coordination among personnel. This proactive approach not only fosters a culture of readiness but also ensures that teams are equipped to effectively manage crises, thereby safeguarding the continuity and resilience of aviation operations. This three-day training course focuses on empowering organisations to conduct realistic exercises that mirror real-world challenges and promote effective crisis management.

The term 'tabletop training' is well recognised in the aviation industry but how to use this tool effectively is almost unknown. To give you a better idea of what this training course encompasses, we offer an exclusive, free-of-charge teaser webinar on October 1st at 10:30 am. You can register for this 30-minute online session through the Registration button on the 'Free webinar' tab of this training course.
