Introduction to Aviation English Programme
This course is
intended for people with limited knowledge of
aviation, who are aiming to start their training
for a career in the aviation industry. They
may wish to become a pilot or an air traffic
controller, or to be involved in airport
administration, and need to have an overview of
how the aviation world works.
This special programme gives them an insight
into the world of aviation and an understanding
of
some of its terminology, whilst improving their
general English language at the same time.

skills approach, focuses on general English
