Aerobility runs an Aviation Education Programme aimed at
young people aged between 14 and 18 years old with mild to moderate learning
disabilities and/or physical disabilities. The programme aims to provide these
young people with transferable skills and strengths that they can take into
further education and employment. The programme covers all subjects of aviation
and covers the topics: Airfield Operation, Air Traffic Control, Fire and
Rescue, Aircraft Engineering, Meteorology and Flight. The sessions run on
various Saturdays during term time, are two and a quarter hours long and the
programme runs from November to June. There are a few trips to different
locations such as RAF Odiham and Farnborough Airport. There may even be the chance of a flight! The programme is free of
charge.
It has been very successful and we are now looking to
recruit for the next course starting in November 2017.
If you would like further information about the course or to
request an application form then please email gail@aerobility.com.
