"We develop individual competence""We facilitate organisational safety and efficiency culture changes" How we achieve results for you Fundamentally - we believe that we offer a difference in learning philosophy and approach. There are plenty of training organisations who will teach new skills, but few that make a real difference by enabling you to apply them effectively. That's where Baines Simmons training is different. Our approach recognises the power of using highly practical, experienced and respected consultants with top quartile learning development skills that can fully engage delegates to achieve higher successful levels of adult learning. To get the best from your people, you must not only enhance their skills, but also develop their drive, commitment and belief in their own responsibilities for safety and performance. Our programmes are designed to succeed in this respect.  Through well crafted learning and development activities, continuous training support and constantly updated real-world case studies, your attendees will enjoy a positive learning experience. We combine these components with:                                a determination to listen first to our clients needs                                an absolute insistence on delivering practical, best practice techniques                                flexibility to match to your requirements                                stimulating presentations with high energy and high impact learning styles                                latest thinking, including latest investigation reports, research and analysis                                post course support to delegates and your management teams Our Approach to training courses and programmes When working with client's to develop training programmes, we incorporate the Baines Simmons 6 stage methodology to optimise the programmes delegate learning effectiveness: STAGE 1 - Pre and post-programme briefings We put a great deal of emphasis on briefings with senior management. We have a suite of diagnostic tools and invest time experiencing the target attendees' working environment and culture. The training needs analysis is typically an essential exercise both in terms of fine tuning the programme content and promoting credibility with the delegates themselves - we strive to make it about them and what they do! STAGE 2 - Develop learning content Importantly, we establish clear learning objectives at the outset, we never allow ourselves to lose sight of these by indulging in 'interesting' non-relevant material. Our focus is to supply results orientated solutions designed to make an impact when applied back in the workplace. As such we have developed a reputation for stimulating, inspiring and easy to absorb learning which gets positive feedback for being just right. STAGE 3 - Build delegate's self-belief and confidence Confidence is a critical factor in the application of any skill set. The Baines Simmons specialist approach has always been to reinforce well researched, tried and tested and up to the minute best practice. We feel very strongly that the success of our solutions are essentially due to this dual focus. The most effective techniques will only achieve results when the individual is sufficiently confident and motivated to put them into practice. STAGE 4 - Engaging delegates with high energy - high impact learning Our programmes are designed to energise, stimulate and challenge. World class in content, each programme sets out to develop key skills and build the enthusiasm to use them. STAGE 5 - Consolidate knowledge and understanding through participation Our style of delivery is highly participative, with attendee involvement encouraged from the outset. We enable participants to explore ideas vigorously with an open mind in a neutral 'safe' learning environment. STAGE 6 - Evaluate the learning effectiveness At Baines Simmons we design our courses to meet the most demanding and widely respected standards. All our aviation training is compliant with the EASA system of learning.

This trend is against the backdrop for higher asset utilisation, larger fleets, continuous cost overhead reductions, falling unit ticket revenues and ever demanding customer service improvements. All of these drivers apply pressure points on Aviation Safety Management.

Notably, in Europe the development of a single central body The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is working with national regulatory organisations to harmonise standards and promote best practice in aviation safety.

Please feel free to contact us for an informal discussion of your needs   Safety Management Systems (SMS) Expertise   Safety Management is about protecting your organisation against undesired outcomes and helps to prevent not just incidents and accidents, but financial inefficiencies and losses too. Historically, with the introduction of new regulations, organisations have only ever been required to be compliant. However, with the latest EASA regulations mandating Safety Management, the actual performance of your safety management system will now be assessed by Regulators. The challenge and opportunity now is to continually enhance your Safety Management System so that it can achieve standards of safety excellence and also contribute positively to financial performance. But how effective is your SMS operating as a safety and business tool? You have safety processes, policies and systems, but does your investment in SMS provide you with a clear picture of how safe you actually are? Does your SMS let you actively measure safety improvements? Being able to actually measure safety performance provides the difference between hoping and knowing you are safe. Our Safety Management expertise and capability We provide specialist expertise in diagnosing, designing, building, implementing and improving Safety Management Systems at strategic, management and technical levels. Our comprehensive programmes focus on developing and sustaining three key enablers:                                Engaging Active Safety Leadership                                Facilitating Intelligent Regulatory Adoption                                Developing Positive Safety Cultures Our research and experience in SMS provides us with thought leadership that is changing the way in which aviation safety is implemented globally.
