Now in its third decade, SCSI (Southern California Safety Institute) is an established center of excellence in aviation safety training, specializing in Accident Investigation training and Safety Management Systems. Over the years, we have trained over 10,000 individuals from government and civil organizations around the world, including the United States military, the FAA, the NTSB, and a host of commercial airline operations. With expert faculty; our own acccident crash laboratory complete with fixed wing, gas turbine and helicopter wreckage; and distance learning courses, we are able to offer students a comprehensive learning experience available nowhere else. We strive to ensure that every student of our courses understands not only the basics of safety but also how to become the standard by which others are measured.
