Convergent Performance and USAIG proudly announce the success of their collaboration in the USAIG Performance Vector program with a new program specifically for aviation maintenance professionals. Since the program’s inception in 2011, Performance Vector has welcomed over 200 students from 52 flight departments to Convergent’s online courses, and 110 flight departments have enrolled groups into their webinar series.
USAIG, a global leader in aviation insurance underwriting, developed the Performance Vector program to deliver complimentary, safety-enhancing training and support to USAIG-insured turbine operators. Convergent Performance’s webinars and e-Learning programs enable USAIG policyholders to choose either group or individual formats for training accomplished at their own convenience, regardless of location, anywhere around the globe. The Contemporary Human Factors and Mind Body Link webinar series, as well as Pilot and Maintenance Reliability online courses, were designed by award-winning author Dr. Tony Kern and his group of human factors experts. These programs provide any professional or organization a high impact shot in the arm through greater levels of personal responsibility, optimized team execution, and reliable mission accomplishment.
“The new ‘Never Events’ Webinar Series for Maintenance Technicians is focused on six of the most costly and avoidable events in aviation maintenance; Wrong Part, Wrong Person, Wrong Fluid, Improper Movement, Lost Tool and Unsecured Panels,” said Dr. Tony Kern, CEO of Convergent Performance. “It is designed to improve awareness and empower maintenance techs to see and avoid these preventable events with a deep understanding of the human factors that cause them.”
“Convergent Performance’s programs recognize the unique scheduling demands of business aviation,” said David L. McKay, USAIG president and CEO. “They are designed to deliver training flexibly and be accessible while on the road or in the office, 24/7. We are thrilled at our policyholders’ enthusiastic response to Convergent Performance’s courses and webinars, and that our Performance Vector initiative enables this world-class human factors and error reduction training to reach so many people across the business aviation industry.”
Performance Vector-eligible USAIG policyholders can enroll in the new ‘Never Events’ Webinar Series for Maintenance Technicians now. The first round of the series will kick off in January 2015.
Performance Vector programs meet aviation regulatory requirements, accreditation protocols and industry standards such as FAA, IS-BAO, NBAA’s Certified Aviation Manager program and ICAO. Eligibility to enroll in an additional Performance Vector option refreshes upon each policy renewal.
