Embry-Riddle to Offer Safety and Security Certificate Course

Daytona Beach, Fla., June 12, 2002 -- Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Center for Aerospace Safety/Security Education (CASE) will offer its Safety and Security Certificate program Aug. 5-22 at the Prescott, Ariz., campus.

This year's CASE course offerings have proved to be invaluable for those in aviation safety and security departments. Enrollments have climbed steadily as flight departments worldwide discovered the need for professional development in safety and security issues.

CASE offers safety and security certificate courses four times a year in Daytona Beach and Prescott. Each course is designed to enhance and develop knowledge of safety and security issues in a flight department through intense case studies and on-site investigation at the Robertson Aviation Safety Laboratory.

This year's course offerings include Advanced Accident Investigation, Aircraft Accident Investigation and Management, Aviation Safety Program Management, and Human Performance in Aviation.

"This certificate program is proving vital in our new safety and security environment," says Eric Doten, director of CASE. "We hope the aviation industry looks to our expertise for their professional development needs."

Participants in this year's CASE certificate program include American Eagle Airlines, Gemini Air Cargo, the United Nations, and, for the first time, the National Transportation Safety Board.
