Airline Practical Activity Centre

We have been operating our Airline Practical Activity Centre adjacent to our existing Airline & Airport Training Centre for some years now and in 2009-10 received a record number of colleges, schools and NEET learners using our facilities.

Since we opened this Centre we have had over 12,500 learners using the facilities. All learners and tutors have commented on how the Centre has boosted their confidence and knowledge of aviation especially in a practical way including those who have previously been to airline owned facilities.

If your NEET provision, college, school or university offers Air Cabin Crew, Airline Customer Service Agents, Aviation First Aid, Airline & Airport or Travel & Tourism programmes then you MUST make a visit to our Centre in 2010-11 - you will be giving your students a Field Trip of a lifetime which will significantly enhance their CORE programme and further develop their interpersonal and group skills as well as their own confidence in completing practical tasks.

We can offer over 12 Airline Practical Activities including:-

ñ B737 Emergency Evacuation Slide - from 8' evacuation height

ALL our facilities use genuine aircraft, aircraft sections and aircraft parts and include special Sound, Lighting and Special Effects to enhance the realism of each Activity; all our activities also have comprehensive external Risk Assessments completed on them as well as generic risk assessments, floor plans and dedicated fire escape routes for total safety.

The two Trustees in charge of operations are experienced former senior airline staff who are also First Aid, Fire Marshal and Health & Safety trained as well as qualified Adult Education Tutors, Airline Assessors and Verifiers so you can be sure that you are in the safest and most experienced hands possible.
