SMS II (3 days)

SMS Implementation and Operation Course

MITRE's "Implementation and Operation of Your SMS" course has a strong practical emphasis and is designed to provide a detailed understanding of the inner working aspects of SMS. This three-day course consist of lectures (emphasizing student and instructor interactions), interactive case studies with discussion, hands-on group exercises, and subsequent procedures development.

SMS II furthers the principles and skills acquired by participants from experience and past courses taken. Participants will receive increased exposure to SMS, going beyond theory and principles to actually understanding and designing how to implement and operate your SMS. A 5 day course in SMS Principles from either MITRE or another qualified institution is a prerequisite for this course.
