Both organisations share the vision that early-stage training and mentorship are vital to developing the workforce. Aviation must meet future demand, the goal of the programme is to give apprentices a general understanding and insight into aircraft systems, testing and maintenance processes.

The first course will start on the Airbus A320, one of the most widely used aircraft in the world and will help those pursuing licences as part of their apprentice training schemes. This initiative is part of BSA and IFA joint commitment to help equip the next generation with the skills and insights necessary to thrive in aviation.

Shonu Bamrah, Accountable Manager at BSA, said: “At BSA, we are committed to setting the highest standards in aviation training and this collaboration with the IFA allows us to give apprentices the best possible start in their careers without their respective organisations incurring costs and perhaps allocating funds into other areas of their development – our instructor community espouse BSA values and leaped at this opportunity to help.”
 
Mick Adams, Technical Director of IFE and Board Advisor for BSA said: “Together, the British School of Aviation and International Federation of Airworthiness are paving the way to help address a key industry challenge in meeting future demands. This collaboration exemplifies our shared values and belief in the importance of education and mentorship. It will showcase best in class training from BSA and provide a broader industry perspective, enabling personal growth through IFA membership.”
