UK CAA Part 145 Safety (SMS) & Human Factors Initial Bridging Module

UAE GCAA CAR 145 Initial.v2

This UK CAA Initial Bridging Module provides the Human Factors (HF) and Safety Management System (SMS) context required under UK Regulation (EU) 1321/2014, specifically GM1 145.A.30(e) for Part-145 personnel.

Although the HF/SMS syllabus is identical to the EASA requirements, the UK CAA applies its own oversight processes, reporting expectations, and safety-management interpretations.

The purpose of this module is to ensure that personnel understand how HF and SMS principles are applied within the UK CAA regulatory environment, including safety responsibilities, reporting behaviour, and the role of Human Factors in supporting a functioning SMS.

This module complements an existing EASA Initial HF certificate by providing the UK-specific regulatory and oversight elements required for maintenance personnel working under UK CAA approval.

WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?

This module is intended for personnel who are required to meet UK CAA HF/SMS expectations under Part 145.A.30(e), and who already hold a valid EASA Initial Human Factors certificate.

It is appropriate for:
- Certifying and support staff
- Maintenance technicians working in HF-sensitive tasks
- Safety, quality, and compliance staff
- Supervisors and team leaders with operational HF responsibilities

Prerequisite:
Valid EASA Part 145 Initial HF/Safety Training certificate.
