Spranza Workshop in Nice (France) on May, 15 & 16, 2007: Infectious Diseases - Readiness, Response & Recovery

This news was published on Wednesday, March 7th, 2007 and is archived under Reports.

Spranza Incorporated and Skycontrol have teamed up to provide aviation professionals a series of continuing education workshops for aviation security personnel, law enforcement, airport and airline administrators as well as Civil Aviation Authority officials.  Presented at strategic locations throughout the globe, these workshops provide cutting edge information, practical techniques and "take home" strategies which can be tailored to individual airline and airport operations.


Influenza A (H5N1) virus - also called "H5N1 virus" - is a influenza A virus subtype, that occurs mainly in birds. Like all bird flu viruses, H5N1 virus circulates among birds worldwide, is very contagious among birds, and can be deadly. With its recent move to humans, many scientists believe H5N1 could very well be the next global pandemic. With air travel now linking nearly all nations of the globe, a new vehicle for the rapid spread of disease has emerged.

Airport and Air Operator Administrators must now take proper precautions to prevent, interdict and respond to the threat of diseases, such as H5N1, and properly manage ill crew and passenger care. Today, protection of travelers, aircrew and airport support personnel is critical to both operational and financial continuity. This unique learning event presents administrators and managers with:

  • a comprehensive understanding of the present threat at hand,
  • proper documentation for International Security and Emergency Regulatory Compliance,
  • First Responder planning and procedures, as well as managing the cost of interdiction measures.

Presented in simple, lay language, this program provides an understanding of the present threat of infectious diseases and the responsibilities of the aviation industry in providing safeguards for travelers, aircrew and airport support employees. Delegates will participate in an inter-active learning environment designed to promote understanding and facilitate procedures within their own organizations.

Each attending delegate receives a student workbook, instructional manual and complimentary Resource CD ROM - including class PowerPoint® presentations, along with their Certificate of Completion.

 

Who should attend?
This workshop is ideal for Airport and Air Operator Security Managers, Facility Administrators, Air Crew, Scheduling Managers and any airport or airline personnel dealing with Management of staff who interface with passengers and Municipal First Responders.

I vividly remember Mr. Spranza’s presentation on Aviation Terrorism at the 7th Annual AAAE Central Europe/U.S. Workshop (November 4-7, 2001, Salzburg, Austria); and I think so do the seven Romanian airport executives that also attended that workshop. I, therefore, know that the services he offers are first class.

Our Training Philosophy
With more than two decades of experience in instructing non-native English speaking students, we have developed a unique approach to AVSEC instruction.

Understanding that true learning among these students in NOT the result of lecture, typed overheads and English language handouts (the proverbial talking-head situation), our curriculum development and instructional teams utilize a three fold approach to learning. Each class consists of a content element, a classroom dynamics element and a practical or hands-on element. In keeping with the current industry standard of 60% hands on and 40% academics, the three-instructor approach lends itself to both a dynamic classroom    experience as well as a large degree of individualized and remedial instruction for those students who require this additional attention.

Printed handouts, so traditionally relied upon, are kept to a minimum, and presented in a manner commensurate with the student’s abilities. Technical information is simplified to facilitate student comprehension. It is a known fact, that reading comprehension greatly lags behind oral comprehension, especially in the areas of technical or specialized reading. Academic instruction is augmented by:

  • a high degree of student hands-on instruments
  • instructor modeling of task behaviors
  • observing students executing the job tasks required
  • correcting as necessary
