What our clients say about us:

Excellent facilitator with extensive industry experience who uses a great range of teaching skills and techniques. The emphasis on Human Factors and practical reality was really appreciated!

Aviation SMS Course

Nick D’Allesandro, Air Tasmania

Again, super well organised from the minute we registered through to great venue, content and delivery. Your courses are fantastic!

Safety Investigators Course

Sarah Kane, Menzies Aviation (New Zealand)

Facilitation and delivery was exceptional. Clearly the facilitator is an SMS expert in the subject. Access to the website post course will be extremely useful in the future. Course objectives were fully met and content targeted learner requirements.

Aviation SMS Course

Dean Bzadough, Department of Defence

I used to write this training off a long time ago as…… ridiculous, a waste of time etc. But I know I was misinformed and incorrect then. It is exactly what the aviation engineering fraternity need. A gentle shake and facts placed in front of our faces.

Human Factors Course

James Reynolds, Leonardo

I recently attended the SMS Aviation course in Melbourne, run by Matt McKay. It was fantastic, I got everything I needed to out of it and a lot more. The professionalism of Matt and how he delivered the course was the real highlight. He was very engaging and got everyone involved. The actual content of the course was first class and the vast resources that are now accessible by all attendees post course is really beneficial. I would definitely attend another Southpac course, I was thoroughly impressed.

Aviation SMS Course 

Joshua Miller , Avinet

Thank you David and Southpac Aerospace for the outstanding Lead Auditors Course you conducted for us at Fiji Link (Nadi, Fiji) last month. I was always the ‘auditee’ for so many years..through this training, the ‘shoe is on the other foot’ and I now have such a better understanding & scope of knowledge and skills as a lead auditor. Thank you very much David & the team! I have learnt that quality preparation is vital to any audit and always looking out for processes of continuous improvement…keep up the great work!!!

Safety & Lead Auditors Course 

Una Qarikau, Fiji Link

I was sceptical about attending but it was an excellent five days and a lots of effort has obviously gone into this course. There was great mixture of practical and theory and the facilitation was outstanding…

Aviation SMS Course

Peter Gough, Marker Aviation Services

I recently completed the 5 day Lead Auditor training and found this course to be the most valuable and comprehensive training I have completed in 25 years in the Aviation industry. I feel more than comfortable that I can now carry out a successful audit with the skills and tips I received on this course.
Facilitators, administrators, venue and course content including a live audit was excellent. Thank you to the whole Southpac team.

Safety & Lead Auditors Course

Paul Grewcoe, Qantas

Without a doubt the best leadership and management training I’ve done.

Advanced Management and Leadership Course
