Fighter Trainer
Following the success of last year’s conference, this year’s Fighter Trainer is scheduled to occur during the week of the Paris Air Show and will focus on the latest developments and country specific requirements in fighter training procedures.

Fighter Trainer will take the form of 18 presentations given by leading government, military and industry experts who will disclose the latest technological and systems advances in training, air combat and flying proficiency. It will also include presentations from multi-national flying schools who will scrutinize the fighter training requirements of different nations while imparting knowledge and including case studies on the leading training jets in service today.

Due to the need for constant re-evaluation and justification of spending across the defence sector as a whole, Fighter Trainer will reveal breakthroughs in fighter training technologies to enable maximised results from available budgets. With the current trend of heavy investment in modern simulators and the continued pressure to reduce costs and maximize results, Fighter Trainer will address key areas involved in pilot training including:

· Case studies on individual platforms, training props, turboprops & jets

· Fighter crew training

· Cost reductions

· Pilot training academies

· Upgrades & modifications

· Training through simulation & the balance of live and synthetic training

Attracting key military and industry experts, this conference will provide you with the perfect forum for networking with other delegates, giving you the opportunity to discuss market developments and potential while exchanging industry specific knowledge.

Stay ahead of the competition and register now to guarantee your place at this essential event for training and simulation professionals where you will benefit from the practical insight and hard advice provided by an outstanding panel of speakers.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
