The Human Factors and Accident Investigation Course No. 02

The Human Factors and Accident Investigation Course offered at the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria, equips participants with a solid understanding of how human performance influences safety in aviation.
The course explores key topics such as human error, decision-making, fatigue, communication, and organizational culture. It also covers the principles and techniques of accident and incident investigation.
Participants learn to identify human factors contributing to aviation events, analyze their root causes, and apply practical strategies to enhance safety and minimize errors in operational environments (including maintenance, flight operations, and management).
This short professional course (typically 2 weeks, based on similar NCAT programs) is part of NCAT’s Aviation Management offerings and supports safety professionals, investigators, and aviation personnel in line with Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) standards. It is delivered at the NCAT campus in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria.
