The Red Flag programs described and accessed through this website are generic, though with a strong aviation flavour.

Other industries and professions have similar needs. Developing an industry- or profession-specific package involves:

• Organisation considers assuming the leadership role. Partner
  • Criteria for award of Partner status will include Core Group training.

• The key principles and concepts are set out in.
  • Introduction
  • Relevance
  • Error
  • Prevention
  • Design
  • Principles

• Organisation selects a Core Group for an exploratory Introductory Workshop.

• If that experience results in a Go Ahead (Green Flag?), it is followed by:
  • A three-day intensive training workshop (1200 on Day One to 1200 Day Three).
    • Participants explore their safety skill fitness through carefully controlled activities.
      • The training is held at Binna Burra, a stress dissipating, rain forest environment.
    • Indicative cost of $2640 per head includes accom, facilities, the Premium package (we produce your folder for you) and GST.
      • The Workshop is designed to activate a planning process within the Partner RTO to become the Red Flag provider in that particular industry or profession.

• The Core Group takes the lead in planning and managing subsequent implementation activities.
• Planning for that activity begins during during the 3-day Workshop.
  • Essential Program development tasks include:
    • Renaming if requried.
    • Producing specific materials including User Guide and Case Studies.
    • Designing an incident reporting structure.
    • Producing specific procedures and Checklists.
    • Organising and conducting Train-the-Trainer Workshops.

Workshops follow the experiential model. Carefully managed exercises in simulated situations present a graded series of self-evaluation and decision-making-under-stress challenges.

Training Practice

As Red Flag is a training regime, particular attention is paid, in design of modules, to Learning doctrine. In fact, it's a huge issue, rigorously analysed and with consequent understanding faithfully applied. The Tools

Getting chucked in the deep end to learn to swim works. Trainers call the process Heuristics. You might know it as trial-and-error. You've learned a lot of life skills this way, walking for example. There was no manual. (You wouldn't have read it anyway!) Your teacher was enthusiastic, untrained, easily bored and distracted. But you were programmed to keep at it, through all the bumps and falls, until you got it right.

We've all learned many things in that way. Safety skills are amongst them.

You have to wonder if that's good enough, especially if the skills involved are the ones that protect other people as well as yourself. Red Flag offers deliberate, targeted, safety training.

All skills need constant practice. Life supplies the endless repetition that retains good facility with, for example, walking. It's easy to forget, as we naturally exercise skills, that they do require continuous repetition. Astronauts returning after months in space know the problem.

Life may well be delivering terrific safety skill competence to you. But can you be sure. How often does the real test come your way - say, an emergency situation? Red Flag offers you self-test opportunities. You can be sure ahead of the real test.

But the exercise has to be continuous, as do the health checks (monthly tests).

If you want to be a fighter pilot, that is?

Obviously not. The skills are identified. They're universal.
