Labs & Spaces
All aviation programs are housed in our 80,000-square-foot, $10-million hangar located at the London International Airport, giving you the opportunity to learn in a real aviation environment from day one.
Instead of training in a traditional classroom alone, you’ll be surrounded by aircraft, industry-standard tools, and the same technology used in today’s aviation sector.
Training at an active airport means you’ll experience the pace, safety standards, and professionalism expected in the field while building practical, hands-on skills. You’ll work in modern lab and shop spaces designed to support real-world learning, helping you build confidence and technical expertise before you graduate.
Being located at the airport also helps connect your training to real career pathways, with proximity to industry partners and aviation operations that reflect where you’ll work after graduation.
