The Trainer

Vance Hilderman

Vance, CEO and founder of AFuzion, began teaching DO-178 training courses in 1988. Since then, together with his team, he has trained more than 42,000 engineers in 35 countries, far more than the sum of all the courses conducted by all other trainers in the world.

AFuzion trained 80% of the world’s largest 600 aviation companies, plus is the primary trainer to EASA, FAA, and most Civil and Military aviation certification groups. Hilderman personally wrote the top two best-selling books on DO-178C and avionics certification.

Doymus, along with its partners, has trained more than 430 people in the last five years. Vance Hilderman is by far the highest rated trainer of all the courses organized by Doymus.
