Accident Investigation Course? Seagull?

[C150J]

Hi guys -

A couple years ago someone mentioned an accident investigation course (Seagull?) out of CA. I am personally interested in attending, and am curious as to the duration and institution that offers it. Any insight would is appreciated! I believe it's a 1-2 week non-degree program.

Thanks!

Not more than about two weeks ago I read a post by flyover that included a sentence about it.

Search his recent posts back a week or two and maybe that will also help.

I bet you're talking about SCSI. I haven't heard much about 'em (but they have been endorsed by folks I consider reliable).

My opinion: The courses are a little pricey -- $2k-$3k for a week and a half (not terrible). I'd recommend this kind of thing only if you're already lined up for the carreer of an investigator/flight safety folk, but that's just my opinion. Credentials hardly ever hurt, unless they're from Joliet.

Thanks guys! I'm mainly interested in it for personal satisfaction and to just expand my horizons. If it helps in the future, awesome. If not, I learned something or drew some pretty good doodles in class.

I am interested about attending an accident investigation course too. I did a really good research about it. I think the best and most recognized is the one NTSB gives in Virginia. Its $3000 for two weeks.(same as SCSI). I think they are both very expensive not only for the $3000 but the weeks that you have to take off from work and pay for hotels if you dont live around.
You can also consider University of North Dakota. They offer a three day course for $850.
So now im debating about taking the UND course or just audit an airplane accident investigation class in my local college for $400.(college of aeronautics in NY)
While im giving info im also accepting ideas from others . :-)
