Civil Aviation Academy

Civil Aviation Academy Australasia Pty Ltd, known as CAAA, is an aviation training and consultancy firm. It was established in 2001 and is based in Western Australia. The company serves clients across Australia and in other countries.

CAAA offers courses on dangerous goods awareness, the safe transport of infectious substances, and crew resource management. It also offers IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations training with shipping labels, and dangerous goods shippers training.

The courses are approved by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and meet IATA requirements. The site says its facilitators are aviation professionals with commercial and airline transport pilot licence experience.

Each course assessment is hand marked, and personal feedback is given. The courses do not need ongoing internet access, which suits remote operators. Renewal reminders are sent four months before a qualification is due.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, the company moved its training to web based formats. Courses are available 24 hours a day through its order system. Free webinars let participants speak with their course facilitator.

The consultancy service helps operators with company specific compliance solutions and operations manual development. The site says the service grew after CASA legislative changes in December 2021, and was expanded in 2022.

The site includes testimonials from aviation operators, including Tasman Cargo Airlines, Heliwest, Belair Airways in Vanuatu, Paspaley Aviation and the Northern NSW Helicopter Rescue Service.

Students receive comprehensive training materials that they can keep as reference after the course. Instant access to courses is available when ordered through the website. The company says it has over 20 years of experience in CASA approved training, compliance solutions and operations manual development. The site lists a dangerous goods acceptance course for non dangerous goods. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 15:00 Perth time. Free webinars are offered to all course participants.
