Human Performance & Limitations (HPL)
The Essential Foundation for CRM Trainers
Human Performance & Limitations (HPL)
The Essential Foundation for CRM Trainers
A flexible, on-demand online course designed to meet EASA requirements for CRM Instructors.
To be an effective Crew Resource Management (CRM) Trainer, you must understand the "Human" in Human Factors. For pilots, this knowledge is covered during their ATPL ground school. However, for Cabin Crew CRM Trainers or facilitators from non-flight crew backgrounds, this critical knowledge gap often remains unfilled.
EASA regulations require that all CRM Trainers possess a solid understanding of Human Performance and Limitations (HPL).
The Global Air Training HPL Online Course provides the comprehensive physiological and psychological knowledge required to meet these regulatory standards.
Who Is This Course For?
This programme is specifically designed to support:
- Cabin Crew CRM Trainers: Gain the HPL knowledge equivalent to flight crew standards, required for your accreditation.
- Non-Pilot Instructors: Technical staff or ground instructors moving into CRM delivery.
- Refresher Candidates: Experienced trainers needing to update their knowledge on fatigue, stress, and information processing.
- ATPL Students: A perfect primer or revision tool for the HPL exam.
