Teaming up with the best in industry, our Future Skills courses lean into the future of work to deliver the best in structured, mentor-supported, 100% online education.

Even the best-designed systems can fail without the right human inputs. This course, created with the Safety Academy by Qantas Group and RMIT Aviation Academy, explores the behavioural, social and organisational factors that influence performance in safety-critical environments.  

From leadership blind spots and communication breakdowns to team dynamics and workplace culture, you’ll learn how these forces shape reliability and resilience in high-risk settings. You’ll also examine medical and ergonomic issues that affect operations and see how leading organisations like Qantas address these challenges to keep complex systems running safely.  

By the end, you’ll have the tools to strengthen your Safety Management System, embed a culture of safety and collaboration, and apply lessons from aviation’s world-class safety practice to your own workplace.

After completing an RMIT Future Skills course, you will earn an RMIT credential which can be validated, recognised and shared on social media platforms.
