Airways Aviation Becomes Australia's First Non-Tertiary Duke of Edinburgh Award Education Partner

Australia – Airways Aviation's training division in Australia has become the first non-tertiary education provider in Australia to partner with The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, with aviation training now recognised as a valid pathway under the Award's Skills Section. 

• The partnership allows students undertaking Airways Aviation's Online Learning Platform, AMELIA (Airways Management Education Learning Innovation Academy) — including the online Pilot Foundation Course and flight training programs — to have their learning recognised towards the Duke of Ed Skills Section.

Statements

• "Learning to fly is about much more than acquiring technical skills.

This partnership recognises aviation training as a valuable pathway for personal development and creates new opportunities for young people to pursue their ambitions," said Janet Dalby, Chief Executive Officer of Airways Aviation.
• "We are delighted to welcome Airways Aviation as our first non-tertiary education partner in Australia. This partnership represents an important step in connecting aviation education, personal development and future career pathways," said Helen White, CEO of The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award – Australia.
