Who is this course for?

This course is for young people aged 16-18.

You should be interested in finding out about the aviation industry, and committed to learning and developing personally to increase your future employment opportunities and further study options.

What you’ll learn

You will learn what is involved in the aviation industry, including the language of aviation and the destinations that people can fly to.

You will learn about the role of air cabin crew and operational roles within an airport such as check-in, baggage handling and aircraft dispatch. You will also develop the communications skills and personal qualities you need to work in the industry.

Entry requirements

If you have not yet gained a Grade 4 (C) in GCSE English or Maths, you will study these subjects alongside your course, either as Functional Skills qualifications or GCSE resits, if you already have a Grade 3 (D).

Future career and study

Your next steps will depend on the level of learning and personal development that you reach and the qualifications that you have gained. You could progress to a Level 2 course in airport operations, cabin crew or travel and tourism.

You could seek an Apprenticeship and continue your training while working, or you might prefer to go directly into employment. We will support and guide you to achieve your potential and your goals.

Additional costs

You will need to buy your aviation uniform and pay for trips throughout the year. This will be approximately £180.

If you are on a limited income, you may be eligible to receive help with these costs from our Learner Support Funding Bursary.
