Strengthening global partnerships

In 2024, we prioritise strengthening international partnerships and supporting our global Branches and Divisions. Collaborative efforts with aerospace, aviation, and space communities worldwide will enrich our collective knowledge, fostering a more globally integrated sector.

Advancing End Point Assessment services

During 2023, we have invested in the development of new systems to further support our EPA services and training, aimed at providing a higher and more efficient level of service; these new systems will be rolled out within 2024.

We are now approved to deliver the Systems Engineer – ST0107 (Level 7); development of delivery processes will be undertaken in the coming year.  We will also be reviewing our EPA offering and exploring new opportunities within this area of the Society’s activity.
