Fuel Safety and Inspection Course Description

The Fuel Safety and Inspection Course is an 18-module online training course which is professionally-narrated and includes extensive graphics, interactive learning exercises and an online multiple choice final exam.

In addition, the ability of an operator to prove their training compliance, as required by 14 CFR 139.321, is greatly simplified by utilizing Noverant's FAA-approved compliance management system. All personnel (active or terminated) records are available online, and e-signatures meet the strict guidelines as detailed in 21 CFR Part 11, which requires long-term secure storage of all training events and government-approved electronic signatures. The online Fuel Safety and Inspection course will provide clients with far more flexibility and eliminates a client's need to travel or contract a fuel safety expert for onsite training.
