The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has partnered with RMIT University to teach people how to manage and lead accident investigations of aviation, rail and marine vehicles.
The Bureau said the collaboration ensured the Graduate Certificate in Transport Safety Investigation was industry-relevant and work-integrated.
“RMIT has extensive expertise in multi-modal transport safety systems and experience in industry-focused education,” the Bureau said.
“The ATSB provides advice on the development of the program structure and the course material, and a significant number of topics are delivered by ATSB subject matter experts with in-depth industry experience,” it said.
“The Graduate Certificate in Transport Safety Investigation consists of four courses (or units of study) which run in intensive blocks, which means you can fit them around your professional obligations.”
ATSB said the Certificate was a great career development opportunity for professionals to gain skills in transport safety investigation.
It said the units were Investigation Readiness; Human Factors for Investigators; Accident Investigation Fundamentals; and Analysis and Analytical Writing Techniques.
The Bureau said the first two units would be delivered online due to the ongoing COVID-19 related travel restrictions.
