CRM Trainer Course (CRMT)

A CRM Trainer Course prepares professionals to deliver Crew Resource Management training within their organization. It covers human factors, communication, leadership, and facilitation techniques to improve safety and team performance in high-risk environments.

To qualify as a Crew Resource Management Trainer (CRM Trainer) under EASA regulations, candidates must meet several key requirements as outlined in AMC2 ORO.FC.146. These apply to both CRMTs (Crew Resource Management Trainers) and CRMIs (Crew Resource Management Instructors), which are terms used interchangeably.

1. Complete an Initial CRM Trainer Course
Prospective trainers must complete a 5-day (40-hour) CRMT Core Course to cover foundational CRM concepts and instructional skills.

2. Human Performance and Limitations (HPL) Knowledge
CRM trainers must demonstrate sufficient understanding of Human Performance and Limitations.

• Pilots typically meet this requirement via their CPL/ATPL.

• Cabin crew must complete a theoretical HPL course covering the full EASA syllabus if they haven’t already.

3. Relevant Flight Operations Knowledge
Trainers need to understand the operational context of the flight crew they train, including the aircraft type, generation, and operation type.

• If lacking flight crew experience, a cabin crew member may still qualify by receiving additional operational training or team-teaching with a qualified flight crew CRM trainer, as allowed by EASA.

4. Certificate Validity & Training Requirements
A CRMT certificate is valid for 3 years. During this time, the trainer must conduct at least 3 CRM training sessions.
To renew, a CRM Refresher Course must be completed before expiration.

5. Initial Assessment by a CRM Trainer Examiner (CRMTE)
The first training session conducted by a new CRMT must be observed and assessed by an experienced CRMTE (minimum 3 years of experience).

6. Periodic Reassessment
A full CRMT assessment is required every 3 years. Operators can use external providers if they lack in-house CRMTEs.

Yes, absolutely. While EASA CRM trainer requirements apply specifically to the aviation industry, the CRM Trainer (CRMT) course is highly suitable for professionals from other safety-critical sectors such as healthcare, maritime, rail, energy, emergency services, and more.

The course content is designed to be cross-industry, focusing on universal CRM principles like communication, decision-making, situational awareness, leadership, and teamwork—all of which are crucial in high-risk environments.
