New Continuing Education Safety Seminar Guidelines

 

The BFA Board has approved a new Continuing Education Safety Seminar Guidelines effective December 1, 2013.  The changes are designed to provide organizers more flexibility and creativity in the design of the seminar.  The old Back to Basics and Enrichment categories have been replaced with three Tiers of topic categories.

 

A total of seven hours of instruction are required for a BFA sanctioned safety seminar.  Half-day or mini seminars, while not discouraged, will not qualify for full sanction.  In order for a pilot to achieve sanctioned seminar credit for inclusion and reporting to the insurance companies, they must accumulate a total of seven hours of instruction at an all-day sanctioned seminar or accumulate a total of eight (8) Continuing Education (CE) credits through any combination of acceptable alternatives enumerated in the Guidelines. A full credit sanctioned seminar must include topics as defined from the 3-Tier levels.

 

The new Guidelines now also include specifications for the BFA Seminar Webinar© and that includes seven hours of instruction and mandatory testing.  Review the new Guidelines on the BFA website now!
