What Is CRM?
CRM is the effective utilization of all resources including crew members, aircraft systems, supporting facilities and persons to achieve safe and efficient operations. The objective of CRM is to enhance communication, interaction, human factors and management skills of the crew members concerned. Emphasis is also on the non-technical aspects of crew performance (EASA definition).
What Is Contemporary CRM?
Contemporary CRM integrates technical skill development with communications and crew coordination training and operational risk management by applying threat and error management (TEM) concepts (Transport Canada definition).
Contemporary CRM is the latest iteration of CRM, whereas more emphasis is being placed on the management of threats and errors by flight crews. Additionally, Contemporary CRM makes practical use of global, as well as the Operator's own, safety data. Evidence-based training (EBT) is a significant part of Contemporary CRM course development and training.

Live Training Is More Effective Than CBT "Click Learning"
When it comes to CRM training...a soft skills subject...the most effective delivery method is face-to-face with a live facilitator. Our highly experienced facilitators present timely, research-based topics, guide discussions, and interject lots of anecdote (as well as some humor). A face-to-face class also allows greater interaction between attendees through personal experiences, large/small group exercises, activities, and case studies.
Additionally, a live facilitator can answer student questions in real time. These are just some of the benefits of face-to-face training versus CBT "click learning."
