Validation Training

Validation Training

Over the last 10 years validation has become more and more of a focus in ATM development projects.  Establishing that the concepts under development are fit-for-purpose has become increasingly relevant as timescales are shortened and budgets are stretched.  Entire programmes such as SESAR are constructed using validation and the language of validation as their cornerstones.
