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 actual operating environment — not a generic catalogue built for anyone.

Two disciplines, one standard

Consultancy and training aren't separate offers here — 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 — 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 disciplines, one standard.

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 slide deck adapted from somewhere else. 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 sector, 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

Our principal contacts are typically 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 — and the same rigour holds for any UK business meeting its own health and safety obligations, whatever the scale.

Founders

Training. Human factors. Risk. Governance.

Training & Human Factors

Postgraduate research in human factors, Systems design, Competency Based Training and Assessment design, put into practice. Training and examining pilots on situational awareness, communication, workload management and decision-making, across multiple international regulatory regimes.

Safety, Risk & Governance

A Lead Auditor background spanning national CAA and IOSA compliance work, design of a certified health & safety management system, accident investigation and risk consultancy that has already carried aviation safety principles into mining and construction.
