This course delivers the HPL elements required to meet EASA requirements for CRM trainers. This course is ideal for flight deck crew who will be CRM Trainers but did not complete an HPL course as part of their ATPL training or those who require HPL refresher training.

This course is available as an on-demand self-paced online programme - including video modules, quizzes, course support booklet, additional resources and a final examination. On successful completion GAT will issue certification. The course completion time is approximately 12 learning hours.
