SEATS STILL AVAILABLE FOR JANUARY 2009 NTSB MARINE SAFETY
COURSE

************************************************************

The National Transportation Safety Board's course, Marine
Accident Investigation for Marine Professionals (MS 101),
scheduled for January 26-30, 2009, at the NTSB Training
Center in Ashburn, Virginia (near Washington, D.C.), still
has openings for interested mid- to senior-level marine
industry professionals. 

The weeklong course covers the Safety Board's processes and
procedures during a major marine accident; reviews human
factors, medical factors, and electronic data elements in a
marine investigation; offers best practices for
comprehensive and thorough interviewing techniques; and
shares report preparation processes and procedures. The
course will be led by senior NTSB investigators who will use
examples from recent NTSB investigations to demonstrate
particular aspects of the investigative process. This is the
first time the Safety Board has ever offered this course.

A more complete description of the course, the registration
process and the cost may be found at the NTSB Training
Center Web site at:
