Aviation

The Level 3 Diploma in Aviation is designed as the first year of a two-year programme which upon successful completion allows students to receive a Level 3 Extended Diploma qualification (equivalent to three A-Levels).

Each unit integrates industry training with educational elements to link curriculum subjects with the real world. Industry certificates will be issued to each student to aid their progression into industry training, University, Degree Apprenticeships and Apprenticeships.

Aviation Education and Training is changing, linking aircraft manufacturers, airlines and airports with the learning pathways that are relevant for the 21st century.

Students will study at college in our new mock cabin and aviation generation room as well as being taught one day a week at Heathrow Academy (10am-4pm), which will include guest talks and speakers from Heathrow Airport and the Aviation industry.

Unit content includes:

  • The Industry – what is it and how does it operate?
  • The Operations – how do airlines and operators use their aircraft?
  • The Sustainability – what is the Industry doing to face the future?
