The Introduction to Human Factors course will build your knowledge of human factors, and help you to apply basic human factors principles in your day to day work.  You will gain an understanding of the scope of human factors, and some basic tools that you can start to apply straight away.  The course is also a valuable foundation for further study in human factors, which makes it the perfect starting point before you enrol in one of our more specialised courses.    

The course provides a solid foundation in human factors for those working in safety-critical operations, engineering and project management, product development, safety and quality management, safety investigations, and training.  

The course can be visited as many times as you wish, over an 8 week period, and the learning platform will remember your place in the course.  This means that you can complete the learning in small sections to fit with your busy schedule. 

In our Premium delivery option, supplement your self-directed learning with 3 online sessions with one of our course facilitators.  Each session lasts for 40 minutes and provides an opportunity to consolidate learning, discuss course content, and ask questions related to the course.  The facilitated sessions may be conducted individually, or in a small group, depending upon the time zones and availability of course participants.
