>Services >Training Program Development and Instruction
For both government and industry, PAI has developed and conducted training programs for both instructors and participants. These training services include identification of training requirements, instruction design, training recordkeeping, and program evaluation.For the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), PAI developed and conducted the program implementation training for the FAA’s Office of Aviation System Standards Internal Evaluation Program. In addition, PAI completed a multimedia refresher training course for that program.
PAI also assisted the FAA with developing the Continuing Analysis and Surveillance System (CASS) course for airworthiness inspectors. The course was designed to introduce a new approach to certification and surveillance procedures, and to clarify the intent of the regulatory requirements. PAI currently teaches that course to FAA inspectors on a monthly basis. PAI also has taught courses on FAA repair station regulations, both domestically and internationally.
In addition, the PAI team has developed award-winning videos and other training materials for the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Members of the PAI team collaborated on the
Bribery Awareness video for the DOT Office of the Inspector General, which won a Communicator award and a National Association of Government Communicators award. Those same team members worked together on the development of training material regarding suspected unapproved parts, including a 20‑minute video, Suspected Unapproved Parts, What can YOU do? That video was widely distributed and used for public and industry briefings and suspected unapproved parts education for aviation industry personnel. PAI also is supporting the DOT Office of the Secretary in developing its training program for the Air Carrier Access Act.
PAI can design and create several types of multimedia products using an approved script. PAI may use videography, storyboarding, two-dimensional characters, graphics, and interfaces to develop training programs to meet our clients’ needs. PAI can create characters using pencil sketches, digitizing, special effects, animation drawings, cleaning up, and ink and painting. PAI creates graphic elements and text using computerized tools such as Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Fireworks, Macromedia Director, and Adobe Photoshop. In addition, PAI can incorporate audio files into any presentations, including lip sync and text.
As part of each project, PAI analyzes and tests the presentation, and debugs the final product as part of our quality control process. The final delivery of the project includes filing all media elements, delivering the presentation as an executable file on a master CD, and creating and delivering a user manual and troubleshooting guide.
