Can anyone tell me if this would be a good path to reach my goals? Are there any other schools that offer a similar program? What jobs are there in aviation safety outside of the NTSB/FAA? Also, are the job prospects in this field good? I found it really hard to find good information – any advice would be greatly appreciated.
i have the same problem with you. I keep asking questions but i cant get an answer about the topic. The only thingi managed to find out is that NTSB has its own training facility and they train people for accident investigations. ITs a 2 week program and it costs about $2600. I would love to attend it but its very costly.
