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)

The course includes a comprehensive package of training materials and resources, ensuring you are fully prepared for your role as a Crew Resource Management Trainer:

  • Comprehensive 280-page CRM Trainer Manual (2025 edition)
  • Student handouts
  • PowerPoint presentations with guided trainer notes
  • Group exercises developed by NaviMinds
  • The Art and Science of Adult Learning (Handbook 2026)
  • Licence for internal use of training materials
  • EASA-compliant certification upon successful completion
  • Lunch, fresh fruit, and refreshments on all course days (in-person training)
  • Free access to Tivoli during course days
  • EASA-compliant CRMT assessment (if required)

There are no prerequisites required to attend the NaviMinds CRMT course.

No prior teaching experience required. Suitable for both experienced instructors and new trainers. 

If you intend to become a CRM Trainer for flight crew (pilots), regulatory requirements apply. These include:

  • Knowledge of Human Performance and Limitations (HPL);
  • Completion of initial operator CRM training;
  • Relevant knowledge of flight operations within an operator;
  • Assessment by the operator prior to acting as a CRM Trainer

 

EASA requires completion of a Human Performance and Limitations (HPL) course. For most pilots, this requirement is already fulfilled as part of their ATPL training, whereas cabin crew may need to complete it separately.

At NaviMinds, we offer an integrated training pathway, allowing you to combine the CRMT course with the required HPL training and complete your certification process seamlessly.

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

Upon successful completion, you will receive certification aligned with:

  • EASA requirements (AMC1 & AMC2 ORO.FC.115 / 146 & AMC1-3 ORO.CC.115(e))
  • ICAO standards
  • FAA and CAA frameworks

 

This ensures the course meets internationally recognised standards and is suitable for both individual participants and organisations worldwide.

NaviMinds is the market’s leading provider of crew resource management and human factors training. Since 1987, we have been collaborating with airlines and aviation organisations worldwide, ensuring our facilitators bring extensive experience and expertise to the field.

Our courses balance theoretical knowledge with practical elements, including the development of your trainer skills. We design CRM training to mirror real-world work environments, enabling you to seamlessly implement relevant topics into your line operations.
