Understanding the background to aviation is even better than flying itself. Our course enables you to either develop your knowledge of aviation technology or train to be a pilot. Afterwards, it’s time for ‘take off’ as you embark on a career in the national or international aviation industry.

What you will learn:

Fundamentals of science

Aeronautics expertise

Construction and calculation

Simulation

Managing projects

Internship
