Applying BowTieXP in Aviation Organisations

TS101 | 3 days

Bow Tie is a popular method for aviation organisations that are being proactive in analysing their hazards and evaluating the controls they have in place. However, like all methodologies, it is in the effective application that most benefit can be realised. Endorsed by CGE Risk Management Solutions (developers of BowTieXP), this advanced training course is aimed at helping you to effectively manipulate BowTieXP software to produce your own Bow Ties. Uniquely, this training course is set within the aviation context, using exemplars that derive directly from the aviation community.

Frequently asked questions

I am the Bow Tie Manager for my organisation but we do not use BowtieXP. Should I still attend this course?

This course focuses on Bow Tie based risk management in aviation organisations using the BowtieXP software. Whilst Bow Tie theory and practical application are fully covered, the lessons through which they are delivered are specific to this software product. If you are currently using, or are interested in using BowtieXP to build and manage your Bow Ties then this course is for you.

I don’t create Bow Ties, but I am a manager required to review and interpret them as the responsible owner for the organisational risks and controls. Is this the right course for me?

This course is aimed at practitioners and will focus heavily on creating and managing Bow Ties.

I am an auditor or an investigator who is required to check the integrity of organisational controls. Will this course cover what I need?

You will find it useful to attend this course to understand the construction of Bow Ties. If, however, you are already seeking a more advanced course on reviewing barrier effectiveness, we recommend you consider TS107: Barrier Management with BowTieXP, Incident XP and AuditXP.
