2 AAA EDUCATION The Australian Airports Association Education division operates to provide industry relevant training development opportunities to members and non-members alike. AAA Education is focused on creating exciting and interactive training products that allow the student to engage in real world application of the content. The AAA Education team has in excess of 20 years experience in training development and delivery across a variety of high risk industry s and is able to create relevant and realistic training to suit the needs of employers and employees alike. For further information about the AAA Education offering please visit THE BENEFITS OF ONLINE TRAINING VS FACE TO FACE There are many reasons to conduct the Australian Airports Association courses online and not just because they are easy to access. A common issue around face to face training is the instructor has a set time and process for delivery and therefore students may feel they don t get all the information they need. The alternative is online learning where the student determines the pace of delivery, has the option to review previous material, can log in and out as required and receives the same material delivered in the same manner each time. For employers this means every employee has received the exact same training and method of delivery which creates a uniform level of competency. For our industry, it means that persons who have completed this training are employable across a variety of aerodromes and locations without the need for retraining. 2
