Why 30West

Most training providers sell you a course.

We bring specialist expertise developed over two decades in commercial aviation, then apply it to your operation — not just a generic catalogue built for anyone.

Two disciplines, one standard

Consultancy and training aren't separate offers, they're complementary. Applied together at any stage of your operation.

Founder-led. Aviation-trained.

Two airline pilots, with close to 18,000 flight hours and more than 35 years in aviation safety, risk and regulatory work between them. Skilled in human factors, training design, licence examination, safety auditing and governance — leading every engagement personally.

Built for high-consequence environments

Mining, oil & gas, energy and comparable complex operations — where getting it right matters most. That's the standard behind every programme we deliver, including the simpler ones.

What we do

Two ways to work with us.

Consultancy

Independent assessment of your safety and governance systems.

We assess, audit and advise on the systems that carry your operational risk — brought in as an independent, aviation-trained perspective your team wouldn't otherwise have access to.

  • Safety-system auditing and gap assessment
  • Risk assessment and governance review
  • Human factors and operational safety culture
  • Training design and standardisation

Training

A Systems Approach to Training, built to change behaviour.

Not a generic slide deck. Every programme is built around your actual operating environment, delivered by people whose careers were spent training and examining flight crews.

  • Safety and human-factors training programmes
  • Assessed to prove competency, not just attendance
  • Tailored to your business, not a generic catalogue
  • Bespoke by design, starting with a founder-led training needs analysis

Sectors

High-consequence industries, with the same standards even when the stakes are lower.

MiningOil & gasEnergyUtilitiesHeavy industryConstruction

We principally work with health & safety managers, safety leadership, governance teams and operations leaders. People who need a specialist partner, not a generic provider with a big catalogue. Decades in one of the highest-consequence industries there is, commercial aviation, translate directly to sectors carrying similar stakes. The same rigour holds for any UK business meeting its own health and safety obligations, whatever the scale — mining site or accountancy office.

Our Expertise

Training. Human factors. Risk. Governance.

The founders learned their craft in commercial aviation. Training and examining pilots, and auditing the safety systems that keep operations running — then carried both disciplines into mining, construction and beyond. Between them: postgraduate research in human factors and in risk and resilience, Competency Based Training and Assessment design, and a Lead Auditor background across HSE, BSI and CAA/IOSA compliance.
