Hi Dave,
Lest I be misunderstood, please let me clarify. Unfortunately, I do not
know of a program that offers a "Certificate in Human Factors
Facilitation," but I do know how to develop one. I invented that
certificate as an example of what an airline could do in a Corporate
University. The point is -- we, in industry, have a tremendous amount
of expertise and resources. Yet we leave it up to the academic
institutions to certify education with bachelors, masters, and doctoral
degrees. Perhaps we should package the education that we already do in
a way that offers incentives to our customers (pilots, instructors,
etc.)
