The fast growth of the aviation industry in Saudi Arabia, as part of Vision 2030, is leading to a bigger need for skilled and up-to-date safety experts. Keeping aviation safe in a fast-changing and high-tech world needs a team that has strong technical skills along with good knowledge in human behavior, managing risks, and making smart decisions. This study looks into the methods and structures required to train safety professionals in Saudi's aviation industry so they can keep up with future challenges. The study uses a qualitative and conceptual method to combine industry knowledge and views on training management. It looks at important topics like building skills, ongoing professional learning, changes brought by digital technology, and a strong focus on safety. The results show that today's safety experts need to have both technical know-how and good people skills, as well as the ability to keep up with new technologies like artificial intelligence and data analysis. The study also highlights the need to match training programs with global aviation standards and the goals of Vision 2030. The research shows that putting money into organized training, learning based on skills, and continuous learning within organizations is important for creating a strong and prepared aviation safety team in Saudi Arabia.
