For the first part of Year-1 students on all three pathways will study a
common curriculum designed to familiarise learners with the industry as a
whole.
Employers and industry experts have told us that they need staff that
understand and appreciate the knowledge, skills and competencies of a range of
job roles across aviation.
This level of broad understanding will make our graduates more effective in
their careers when they progress.
All ASI Newark students will also complete the National Citizenship Scheme
(NCS). Designed especially for 16- and 17-year olds, the NCS experience will
give you a clearer idea of what you want from your future.
It is designed to unite and empower young people, building your confidence so
you can go out there and achieve your dreams, no matter where you’re from or
what your background is.
You’ll spend a week in the autumn mixing with your new group, and taking on
fresh challenges together. Before you know it, you’ll be rooting for each other,
as you all tackle your own little hurdles.
The Pilot pathway will focus on the theoretical knowledge required for a
career as a pilot in commercial or military aviation.
Students will gain a broad understanding of aviation through studying a BTEC
Level 3 Diploma in Aviation Operations, including; UK aviation industry, health
& safety, security, inter-relationships, aviation geography, airline and
airport economics and the environmental impacts of aviation.
Students will then study the theoretical knowledge elements of a pilots’
licence, including, air law, human performance and limitations, navigation,
flight planning, meteorology and communications.
Throughout the course students will enhance in their use and understanding of
English, mathematics and physics as applied within aviation. Students will
develop the knowledge and confidence to progress to acquire the skills to become
a commercial or military pilot.
After students have graduated they can progress onto the ASI Newark BSc
(Hons) Pilot degree course.
