How our Human Factors training courses work

Our Human Reliability Academy offers many ways to access learning to improve your team’s understanding and application of Human Factors.

We have an ongoing open programme of courses where people from different companies can come together to learn. We also deliver private courses in-house for organisations on a case-by-case basis.

Most of our courses are set-up to be delivered online with live interactive elements. Some courses are designed to be even more flexible and self-directed, e.g. to suit shift patterns. Some delivery is still done face to face where this suits a client’s individual requirements.

Embedding Human Factors SCTA at scale - a case example

A large multinational client first took our CIEHF accredited SCTA course as a trial. About 10 people attended initially, including relevant people from their central corporate office and some senior people at sites. They were looking for a practical and productive way to apply Human Factors that went beyond recommendations to do with further training and more procedures.

Following the success of the SCTA course they trialled the methodology, began to write the methodology into corporate policy and set about recommending more sites join the course from around the world.

They adopted the SHERPA Software to help facilitators implement SCTA. We also set up a private community of practice for the client so we could share articles, resources, and provide private webinars. This was complemented by one-to-one coaching to assist new facilitators should they need it.

We continue to support this large multinational which now has a programme of SCTA work and human performance improve globally.

Human Performance Leadership Briefing

Senior leaders need to be reassured that they are ahead of the game. For example, how can an understanding of human performance and “Human Factors” support your goals?  How can senior leaders apply Human Performance principles to reduce error, create a culture of performance excellence and unlock the tacit knowledge embedded in teams? 

Human Performance Leadership support can be tailored to meet leaders where they are in terms of their human performance journey. Concepts and principles in this area may be very new to some, others may be more familiar and want more advice on implementation, others may be implementing strategies already and want a sense check what they are doing.

We have a wealth of experience, stories and tailored games to make Human Performance Leadership coaching fun and effective, so senior leaders can be more confident in this area, impact culture and the behaviour of their staff.

What our clients are saying

The Safety Critical Task Analysis course delivered remotely by HRA Ltd covered all the elements of SCTA that I wanted out of the course and also provided some very useful hints and tips. The use of video and webinars offers a very effective and productive way of delivering training on this topic and we will be looking to make greater use of this in the future.

Dylan Peters, Snr Staff HES Engineer, Valero Pembroke Refinery. 

This is a must do course for all frontline people, their supervisors/ managers and senior management leaders to really know about Human Factors- what is important, why is it important for them and how to make it possible. Human Reliability Associates has a great team of experts who can help, guide and train all such organizations, stakeholders, teams and people to evolve and grow. One of the best courses with lots of Aha moments. Thank you Team HRA.

Community of practice

Connect, Share, Learn

As well as providing innovations in online learning, we wanted to go further and provide more support, better connection and create the potential for more ongoing interactions with our delegates. Welcome to the Human Reliability Network!

The Human Reliability Network allows us to invite delegates into a space where we can share further articles, videos and resources. We can hold further webinars on Human Factors topics, have drop-in sessions for SHERPA Software support and R&D. Where delegates can share and learn from each other.

We can also create private groups so larger clients and multinationals can have their own private space and resources, helping like-minded people connect.
