Purpose
The National Diploma in Aviation (Risk Management) [Ref: 1638] is designed to introduce
the principles, framework, and process of managing risk in an aviation environment. The
qualification is intended to be applicable for any level of an organisation in the aviation
industry. The qualification is aimed at people working in the aviation industry who work:
with, or as, an Aviation Regulator; or at a Board, Executive, or senior management level in
an aviation organisation.
The qualification comprises only compulsory standards to align with the structured method
of training required by the industry. The standards introduce the concepts of managing
risk (including identifying, analysing, evaluating, treating, and monitoring and reviewing
risk); communicating and consulting in the risk management process, and establishing the
context for risk management, in an aviation environment.
People holding this qualification will be able to apply risk management into their existing
workplace activities, or be able to move into a field which primarily addresses risk. They
will be able to relate risk management to governance, and safety and quality management,
allowing for a greater understanding of how to improve an aviation organisation’s risk
management performance.
People who have met the requirements of this qualification may also choose to undertake
study towards the National Diploma in Aviation (Regulatory Oversight and Governance)
[Ref: 1637], and/or the National Diploma in Aviation (Safety Management Systems)
[Ref: 1639].
Special Notes
It is recommended that candidates should be able to draw on present or recent
experiences regarding risk management, primarily for an aviation environment.
It is recommended that candidates possess basic word processing skills and knowledge of
the New Zealand aviation industry.
