Julie A.Rushton, JARE ATP's Chief Executive with
Andrew N.S.Easton the Chair of Trustees of JARE ATP ECT

JARE ATP is a name respected and trusted in aviation worldwide for quality airline & airport training, providers and practitioners of realistic work environments and continuing support to airlines, airport, colleges and schools as well as Professional Tutor Development.

Both Andrew and Julie have a wide range of Educational and Occupational competence qualifications, including Cert. Ed. from University of Greenwich, gained in over 25 years in the airline, airport and education sectors.

Background

In March 2009 we decided that because most of our activities for education were of a non-business charitable nature we formed, by Charitable Trust Deed, the J.A.R.E. Airline Training Partnership Educational Charitable Trust from 27.3.09. which is now a separate charitable entity Registered Charity No: 1130711. Julie A.Rushton, Andrew N.S.Easton (Chair) and Alan Rushton (Lay Trustee) became the initial Trustees of the new charity for all its non-business educational charity aims “To advance the education of the public in the subjects of Airline, Airport & Aviation Studies and related industries”.

In the 2010-11 session we started our 21st year of airline & airport educational service, as the Directors of J.A.R.E. Airline Training Partnership Limited we have been offering, to a wide range of students from 14 years to 65 years, programmes dedicated to achieving the goals of relevant employment in the airline industry. This has involved the teaching of over 50,000 students both directly and via over 150 FE Colleges. Our experience and expertise is unrivalled in this specialist part of the aviation industry, copied many times - and we are flattered by this - we are the genuine and original pioneers of providing relevant airline and airport programmes and matching students to realistic airline or airport careers.

Our commitment to a personal and quality service continues to be one of our core values - when you deal with J.A.R.E. Airline Training Partnership Limited you deal with ONLY the two Directors.

We support a wide range of aviation industry recognised qualifications via NCFE, EDEXCEL, OCR, C&G, EAL, Ascentis etc., and can help all schools and colleges with specific help, support, resources and field trips. We also have a range of awarding body specific materials for airline & airport qualifications and have over the last few years continued to develop a range of support for other awarding body qualifications.

With the expertise of a former airline Chief Stewardess and Airline Managing Director, as founding directors & trustees, we have ensured that J.A.R.E. Airline Training Partnership utilises up-to-date airline industry led expertise which has been at the heart of the development and progression of the wide range of 30+  programmes we support.

A further key component has been the progression from the programmes to relevant airline or airport employment utilising the skills previously learnt on each programme; many 1,000's of students have gone on to forge an airline career who owe their success to completing their programmes with J.A.R.E. Airline Training Partnership.

Development

We continue to offer students at FE Colleges and schools the widest range of options and our unique Airline & Airport Practical Activity Centre has further expanded what students can practically learn in an aviation context.

Much evidence for Key Skills, at Level 2, for "Working With Others", "Problem Solving", "Communication" and "Improve Own Learning & Performance" - all with an airline context for a greater student interest - can be tracked. As well as Functional Skills.

The Present

We opened our J.A.R.E. Airline Training Partnership Airline & Airport Training Centre, in Autumn 2004 which houses a comprehensive Training Suite for up to 30 students as well as a "mock-up" cabin for up to 38 students, 2 operational "check-in desks", Security Arch and scanning equipment, an Aviation First Aid Centre and our Aviation Warehouse.

This is now the preferred option for most colleges from as far as 300 miles away to visit our Centre to develop their students practical abilities and understanding for a wide range of awarding bodies.

The Centre is situated in the West Midlands close to Birmingham International Airport and convenient for a range of motorways including - M6, M6 (Toll), M42, M1, M40, M69 etc.

The 2004-05 session saw the successful launch of the Level 1 Award - Ascentis Introduction to  "Airline & Airport Careers" - an excellent INDUCTION programme for new students - this is LSC fundable for the 2008-09 session.

2005-06 - also saw the introduction of a new award Ascentis Aviation Security Level 2 PLUS Ascentis Airline Baggage Handlers being uprated to Level 2 and the popular Ascentis Airline & Airport Careers programmes now having a Level 2 option "Development of Airline & Airport Careers".

ALL of these activities can be funded for FE Colleges in England via  a simple and short LSC 96/97 programme with up to £200.00 per student LSC funding where we have devised simple materials and the chance to gain a nationally recognised qualification. In Scotland and Wales Individual learning Accounts can fund practical activities at our Centres. Additionally some schools and Colleges have sourced funds from their local Aim Higher fund.

2007-08 - saw the opening of our new Airport Practical Activity Centre to complement a range of airline practical activies.

These are EXCITING developments where we have doubled the size of our Centre to give students, colleges and schools the opportunity to undertake exciting practical airline activities in a first class purpose-built area under our expert supervision.
