NetDimensions, a global provider of performance, knowledge and learning management systems, announces that the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA) has chosen NetDimensions' Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP) as the technology for its new eLearning initiative.

EKP will be used to manage pre-requisite courses for those nominated to attend IFALPA Training Courses, and educational and training materials for IFALPA members.

Representing 100,000 pilots in over 100 countries, IFALPA will initially implement EKP as part of a one-year eLearning trial involving 500 pilot volunteers. The eLearning courses will serve as pre-requisites for subsequent IFALPA Training instruction and as vehicles for the transfer of critical information to IFALPA members on important current issues such as 'Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums in China'.

By offering the required foundation training for pilot volunteers online, pilot volunteers attending IFALPA Training Courses are better informed and thus able to participate more actively, as well as shorten 'physical' courses -- resulting in substantial savings and better utilization of scarce IFALPA resources.

"We are delighted that an organization as well-regarded and influential as the IFALPA has chosen EKP", said Andrew Lupton, NetDimensions' Director of Asia Pacific Sales, "Our secure compliance and education solutions are ideally suited for commercial flight operations staff who can easily access courses while traveling".
