Today's airline pilot must possess business and managerial skills in addition to a superior level of flying skills. Airlines expect their pilot candidates to have completed College or University training in fields of Business, Commerce or Science.
Recognizing this, Sky Wings Aviation Academy and Red Deer College have designed an Aviation Diploma program that has been preparing pilots for the aviation industry for almost a decade. This two-year course of studies enables the student to earn a certificate in Business Management while obtaining an Aviation Diploma. In the highly competitive world of Commercial Aviation, the Aviation Diploma is an excellent means of meeting most airlines' educational and flying requirements. |
