News from Australia
infoWERK, through its Australian based partner, has commenced WBT to engineering students employed by the Australian based National Jet Systems (NJS) – a subsidiary company of the world renowned UK based Cobham PLC.

 

NJS employs over 800 staff and operates a range of aircraft types including the Boeing 717 and 727 freighter, BAE146, and Bombardier Dash 8. NJS is the sole provider of “wet leased” aircraft to Qantas Airways – one of the world’s most respected airlines.

 

 

 

NJS commenced training under the infoWERK WBT model in Feb 06 with students based in Darwin and Cairns studying B1 Modules 15 (Gas Turbine) and 17 (Propeller). The facilitator for these modules is based in Perth, administration is conducted from Adelaide

with access provided through TMC’s Brisbane based aviation training portal.

 

The flexibility provided by the infoWERK WBT approach is rapidly reducing the costs associated with developing and maintaining the skill levels of a diversely located workforce – a cost that was previously a burden on the National Jet training budget.

 

 

NJS’s Engineering Training Manager, Mr. Craig McDougal, says;

 

“The training provided by infoWERK is visually stunning with animation and student interaction that is a first for Australian Aviation Engineering Training”.

 

Furthermore,

 

“Having the ability to view logon traffic and the reoccurrence of certain topic areas will allow us to determine deficiencies or subjects which need to be elaborated on if required. To ensure accuracy and honesty, trainees must participate in consolidated training assessments as determined by Engineering Training. The courseware will go through initial introduction stages where experienced engineers at the bases will provide support to apprentices and provide us with valuable feedback for ongoing development.”

 

“The training covers the full range of aircraft systems. Full descriptions of system components and controls are provided in a structured, easy-to-follow way to ensure that the student gains a comprehensive understanding of aircraft maintenance principles”.

 

For more information regarding this success story, please feel free to contact infoWERK or TMC Aviation (email: tmc@tmcaviation.com.au).
