Human Factors
Minimising missteps and building error-resilient systems is critical in the aviation industry.
A fundamental cause of aviation errors is human beings, which is why we offer human factors training courses. In these courses, you’ll learn about the strengths and limitations of humans to help build more robust and foolproof infrastructure and processes.
Through a combination of theory and practice, you’ll learn how to design systems that anticipate, predict and cater for human errors.
When you graduate from human factors in aviation training at Swinburne, you’ll understand the history of human error in aviation and be prepared to help prevent it in the future.
