Booklet: Training Effectiveness and Innovation

We invite you to discover more about the innovative training and safety programmes we develop for airlines and other clients. The common goal is to make training more effective and efficient and to assist airlines in understanding and managing their safety risks and in achieving excellence in safety performance. Everything we do is founded in a thorough science-base, which we have bridged into truly practical solutions.

Our vision of airline training is founded on competency-based and performance-based training (PBT) concepts. Our approach focuses on a thorough process of analysis, design, development and implementation with the client. Our staff have detailed knowledge of and expertise in training, simulation, human behavioural assessment and regulations. This knowledge is combined with applied technical research and development in simulation. NLR actively develops innovative training technologies and training media. These capabilities and our in-house research infrastructure ensure that NLR can oversee the entire spectrum and stay on top of – and ahead of – new developments and innovations in airline training and simulation.
