Do you want to work in military aviation? Are you great at practical tasks,
with a keen eye for detail and the ability to problem solve? If so, this course
could be for you.
For the first part of Year One 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 you more effective
in your career when you 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 you, 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 hurdles.
Depending on your chosen pathway, you will undertake a number of enrichment
activities linked to your "Military & Defence" or "Civil" programmes. These
will include exciting trips, visits and guest speakers to bring the aviation and
aerospace sectors to life.
