home / capabilities / TRAININGEach year since 2004, APT has offered training for S&MA professionals. Approximately 200 professionals obtain continuing education credits each year. A-P-T Research offers classes for both government and industrial personnel:
IMESAFR TrainingThe course is presented over 3 days with 8 hours of mixed lecture and discussion each day, for a total of 24 classroom hours. Daily class hours are from 8am to 5pm with an hour for lunch and breaks mid-morning and mid-afternoon. A competency test will be given at the end of the course. IMESAFR training is available at our Huntsville, AL location on the following dates:

The System Safety Engineering courses build upon your knowledge as a safety professional or a supervisor/manager, to develop competence and sharpen skills in the techniques that support hazard discovery, the assessment and control of risk, and in reviewing work of this kind performed by others. You will receive guidance in the management of limited resources for the optimum control of risk. In addition to the classes shown on the 2008 Schedule of Classes, APT also conducts on site system safety classes for clients who request them. These classes can be specially tailored to the needs of the students. Contact Sid Smith at (256) 327-3397 or ssmith@apt-research.com for information regarding on-site training courses. Safety Program DevelopmentIn this course, participants are trained in system safety theory and are assisted in transitioning to its application in an actual system safety program. The course is divided into two phases.
Presenters: Philip Owen, Tom Pfitzer, Saralyn Dwyer, and guest speakers from government and industry Duration: Two weeks of hands-on instruction at APT or client facilities. An interim period of one-two weeks between phases facilitates preparation of program documents, research into specific hazards, and scheduling of guest speakers on specific topics. Software System SafetyA complete software system safety program should include at least 15 key steps tailored into a process supporting the program. This course reviews the process and dissects each step to discuss the techniques available, as well as the output desired, at each step. Case studies are used for each step to illustrate implementation. In addition, significant emphasis is placed on integrating each step of the software safety process into system safety activities, as well as into the program as a whole. Presenters: Philip Owen, Tom Pfitzer, Nina Donath Duration: 3 days for full class; 1 day for executive summary Missile Flight SafetyIn this course, the student examines typical missile flight hazards, the analytical techniques commonly used to evaluate them, and the responsibilities of the missile developer for assessing and controlling or mitigating the risks associated with flight testing. Presenters: Bob Baker, Philip Owen, Tom Pfitzer Duration: 3 days for full class Ground SafetyThis course constitutes an overview of applicable requirements in explosives and RF hazards. It covers subjects such as: explosives quantity-distance requirements and analysis; explosives transportation requirements and their application; controlling microwave and RF emissions; and conducting RF hazard surveys. Presenters: Philip Owen, Tom Pfitzer. and guest speakers from government and industry Duration: 3 days for full class |
