Where the UAE's next ENGINEER takes off.
The UAE's national aviation programme, co-created with and authorised by the GCAA. Ten chapters of the industry for students aged 13 to 25, delivered in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The ten-chapter ecosystem
One year, ten chapters, the whole industry.
Opening and the GCAA
How the UAE's aviation system is governed, and why the regulator co-created this programme.
Real roles, real routes in
- Roles and career options. The jobs that exist in that part of the industry.
- Entry requirements. What to be doing now to be a candidate later.
- Hands-on simulation. You do the job for an afternoon.
- Career pathways. University, apprenticeship, licence or cadetship.
- Skills and education. The subjects and aptitudes each role rewards.
- Meeting professionals. Question the people who do the work.
Ten stamps, one year
Every student carries a physical Aviation Passport, stamped at the end of each chapter. Attendance and progress also live in the student app, so families and partners can follow the year as it happens.
Built with the regulator
- Co-created with and authorised by the GCAA. The national regulator stands behind the curriculum.
- A proven model. Developed through a UK aviation programme, now a UAE initiative.
- Industry-led. Every chapter is delivered with the professionals who do the work.
- Open to anyone aged 13 to 25. Before, during or after university.
Built for the whole family
Three online parent sessions run alongside the student year, covering the real pathways, entry requirements and economics of aviation careers.
Sponsor-funded places are available for UAE national students.
