Read about some of our recent projects in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries:
Pilot and Technician Rotary Wing Training
STA is providing pilot and technician rotary wing training for the Saudi Arabia National Guard.
We are currently training over 100 ab-initio helicopter pilots in Australia, which includes a Tactical and NVG night phase, using Bell 206 Jet-Ranger Aircraft.
The program also includes training over 200 ground crew in Helicopter maintenance operations in the following trade groups; avionics, airframe, electrical, engine and composites.
Both training programs include 1 year of English language training in Australia prior to the commencement of flying or technical training.
Special Operations Instructor Development (SOID)
SOID has taught 20 experienced military instructors the latest international methods of instruction.
STA worked with the instructors to use their newly gained knowledge to develop a specific Special Operations Tactical Course. We also assisted in the delivery of the course by the newly trained instructors.
With the conclusion of the program the customer now has a team of fully trained instructors, a fully developed tactical course, a cadre of trained SF operators and the ability to deliver further courses unaided; and, to maintain the currency of the program in the future.
Defence Technology and Management Courses
STA is delivering the Defence Technology and Management Courses (DTMC) for the Armed Forces which started in November 2005.
The courses are 6 month post graduate attendance courses, run twice yearly, and are delivered in conjunction with our partners; the University of South Australia, KBR and CERT locally in Abu Dhabi.
Graduates gain credit for post graduate studies in Australia on Masters Courses in military disciplines e.g. a Masters of Project Management or Systems Engineering.
Armed Forces Study Tours
STA has delivered two successful Armed Forces study tours in Australia for the Schools of Infantry and Armour. We have run a symposium of Asymmetric Warfare in Abu Dhabi where 120 senior officers from the Armed Forces and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Interior were in attendance.
STA was contracted to deliver this in conjunction with the Centre for Strategic Studies and Research in Abu Dhabi and the University of Adelaide. We then followed this more academic program with a military centric Asymmetric Warfare Workshop for selected officers.
Training Needs Analysis
STA has conducted a Training Needs Analysis for the Signals Directorate School and conducted a study into the Specialisation year in the Technical Studies Institute.
We have been working with the Armed Forces and the Centre of Excellence for Applied Research and Training (CERT) Group of Companies in the development of the concept for the College of Logistics Management. We have also provided Military Logistics consultancy services to a local Software Developer on behalf of the UAE Armed Forces GHQ.
Police Training
STA has worked closely with the UAE Ministry of Interior for Police training in Abu Dhabi including Strategic Security, Leadership and Brainstorming for the Police Academy and more specific courses for Drugs Search, Informant Management and Criminal Theft Investigations. Two study tours have been completed for Abu Dhabi Police in Australia.
Security Training Services
STA has established a Joint Venture company to provide Security Training services on behalf of Dubai Police in conjunction with a large local security services company.
The training will allow participants to comply with the newly introduced licensing requirements for security guards in Dubai and provides an internationally recognised Australian qualification.
We have trained over 3,000 members of the Civil Intervention Force in counter terrorism and public order techniques in Iraq.
In Bahrain we supplied Computer Based Training software for small arms operation and maintenance.
We conducted a Training Needs Analysis in the Automotive sector as the first phase of the requirement to establish a new Automotive Training Institute in Oman.
