Education Available
There are over 300 aviation colleges, aviation
schools, and two- and four-year colleges with
aviation programs in the United States and worldwide that offer various aviation programs (including
non-engineering programs) to students interested in
pursuing a career in aviation. Many of the aviation
programs will allow you to either earn an aviation
diploma, certificate or rating, aviation degree, an
Associates and/or Bachelors degree (which is
dependent on the type of school and their aviation
programs).

Members engaged in or in contact with international flights must
be proficient in the English language as a general spoken
medium and not simply have a proficiency in standard ICAO
Radio Telephony Phraseology.

Opportunities in Aviation for
Education
The global airline industry continues to
undergo changes for the better, however, the
one constant is the need for highly trained
aviation personnel to satisfy the growth in
aircraft fleet and expanded route structure of
emerging carriers, and support their needs
into the future.
