FREE FOD AWARENESS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS


UPDATE! The FOE certification for Elements of Basic Awareness has entered into the beta testing process and is slated for release during the first quarter of 2008. As beta testing is completed, the certification exam will be available nationally and internationally by NCATT's testing partner, Lasergrade testing centers. END UPDATE

Aviation industry professionals have long decried the lack of a standard, readily available course of instruction in FOD prevention for personnel who work in FOD-sensitive areas.

To help fill that void, the National Center for Aircraft Technician Training (NCATT) has developed a formal set of written instructional materials in FOD / FOE Awareness. Over the coming months, NCATT also expects to begin offering an examination and certification in FOD / FOE Awareness.

Currently distributed to Airframe & Powerplant schools nationwide, these instructional materials are also available to aviation industry professionals, trainers and the general public as free, downloadable PDF files:

A collaborative effort of industry professionals from numerous aerospace companies, and funded in part by the National Science Foundation, The F.O.D. Control Corporation is proud of its participation in this vital project.
