The ACI Global Safety Network (GSN) Diploma Program consists of six specialized courses on airport safety, and is specifically designed to meet the needs of airside operations and safety managers, including developing, implementing and operating effective Safety Management Systems (SMS) at their airports.
Learn from airport experts
All GSN courses use a combination of theoretical sessions with extensive use of pictures and videos in the classroom, and practical application of lessons learned through tabletop exercises or group exercises performed airside at the airport to provide a compelling and relevant learning experience.
The courses are delivered by senior airport managers with extensive “real time” experience of operational procedures, SMS and airport certification.
