Crew Resource Management (CRM) is a training approach designed to improve safety and efficiency by enhancing teamwork, communication, situational awareness, and decision-making among crew members.
Also known as Cockpit Resource Management, CRM focuses on developing non-technical skills – the cognitive and interpersonal abilities that support safe and effective operations. Cognitive skills enable crew members to gain and maintain situational awareness, while interpersonal skills support effective communication, collaboration, and teamwork in complex environments.
This CRM Trainer (CRMT) course equips participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to deliver engaging and impactful CRM training.
This course is designed for aviation professionals – including pilots, cabin crew, military personnel, and safety professionals – who want to deliver effective, compliant, and impactful CRM training within their organisation.
Suitable for those who wish to become CRM Trainers (CRMT/CRMI) in accordance with EASA AMC2 ORO.GEN.146, AMC1 ORO.FC.115 and/or AMC1-3 ORO.CC.115(e)

Please note that these prerequisites apply only to participants who wish to act as CRM Trainers for flight crew members (pilots).
