THE PATHWAY TO YOUR AVIATION

CAREER

PREPARE FORTAKE-OFF

The International Aviation Academy – Norwich (IAAN) is a brand-new, purpose-built training academy that will create the next generation of aviation professionals. We offer training across all six of the Aviation Skills Partnership’s areas of aviation:

• Professional Pilot

• Air Traffic Control

• Airport Operations

• Operations & Crewing

• Cabin Crew

• Engineering & Maintenance

…. and more!

We have created a unique and original real world

learning environment that will truly allow our students to

experience the aviation industry. Our facilities include a full

size operational aeroplane and helicopter for unrivalled

accuracy in our aviation simulations. We will welcome a

broad range of local, national, and international students

and delegates, and will raise the standards of learning

within the aviation industry.

One of the mainstream programmes within the academy

will see up to 80 new aviation engineers being trained per

year. They will start training at the age of 16. Across this

and other courses, we expect a typical year to see 450

people being trained for local, national and international

aviation jobs.

We will also connect with the local schools, colleges, and

universities, creating opportunities for children as young

as 8 to link with the academy.

EXPERTISE ANDKNOWLEDGE

Located on the site of Norwich International Airport, one of the best-connected regional airports in the UK, we couldn’t be any closer to the aviation industry.

IAAN will integrate all aspects of academic skills, practical/

industry skills, and soft skills. Our trainers, tutors,

teachers, and lecturers will provide world-class training,

teaching and learning across the multiple skills required

for the industry.

IAAN will put Norwich on the world aviation skills map,

enabling local people to access national and international

jobs, and enabling international students to access our

world-class expertise.

IAAN is the first of Aviation Skills Partnership’s (ASP’s)

skills academies. It is a unique collaboration of employers,

trainers, educators, funding bodies, government, industry

and, of course, students and delegates. As more are

opened across the country, access to expertise and

resources will grow even further. We will provide students

with a comprehensive, cutting edge, and hands-on

training, unrivalled anywhere.

PATHWAYS TO PROFESSIONALISM

It’s important to us that our students and delegates not only acquire all the relevant training, but that they have a clear pathway straight into the aviation industry.

With capacity for over 450 students from age 16, we will

offer a range of aviation and allied programmes. These

include the first example of the new industry-based BSc

(Hons) Professional Aviation Engineering Practice. This

practice-based degree fully integrates the classroom,

workshop, on-aircraft, and required regulatory (EASA)

training, all within the Training and Business Centre. The

course is validated by University of East Anglia under their

partnership with City College Norwich, delivered by KLN

Engineering, and based on an Aviation Skills Partnership

framework.

In addition, the Academy offers many pathways delivered

on- and off-site through partner schools, colleges, UTCs,

academies and universities, including:

• Aviation engineering courses and apprenticeships

from age 16

• Aircraft technology and type courses

• Cabin crew integrated training

• Airport operations training including passenger

service agent and dispatch

• Human factors and safety management training

• Management and non-aviation courses

WHY NORWICHAND THE EAST?

The region has well-educated people who have, and continue to, aspire to achieve great things across many sectors. Norwich is a world-class city linked to the global community by one of the most connected regional airports in the world and is part of a region that boasts one of the fastest growing regional economies in the UK.

Norwich and the East of the UK have a proud aviation

heritage. For example, Norwich is the home of the first

commercial metal-built aeroplane in the world and has a

reputation for training some of the world’s best aviation

engineers. Many other firsts and pioneering moves-

forward happened in this part of the country.

Building on that success, IAAN’s partnership with KLM UK

Engineering, Norwich International Airport, key local and

national employers, and other airport users, is key to our

hands-on, practical, real-world approach to the full range

of aviation training.

The support of Norfolk County Council, New Anglia

Local Enterprise Partnership, Norwich City Council,

Broadland District Council, and various MPs,

has been instrumental in getting the academy

project off the ground in record time.

The expertise, assistance, and support of Aviation Skills

Partnership, NPS Group, WT Partnership, and RG Carter

has enabled this project to reach fruition and to meet its

full potential.

IAAN operates in an area which understands the value

of the UK aviation industry and that wants to invest in its

future.
