Aviation industry to fly higher with new training courses

28 Dec 2017  2055 | Business & Trade Fairs

The New Year will come with a plethora of new courses to expand the skillset of those involved in the country’s nascent but rapidly expanding aviation sector, with the Civil Aviation Training Center (CATC) recently announcing 26 training programmes to be offered throughout 2018.

Speaking during a seminar on professional development in the aviation sector, Lim Kao, the director of CATC and vice-CEO of Cambodia Angkor Air – the nation’s flag carrier – said the upcoming courses are needed to propel the development of the local aviation industry and help bring it up to par with international standards.

“With the rapid growth in the aviation sector, particularly when it comes to technology, we need to continually update our capabilities,” he said. “These courses will help the industry reach international standards of quality and service.”

Mr Kao told attendants that the new courses will comply with international standards and regulations in the industry and urged all companies in the sector to send their staff to their facilities next year to take advantage of the new training options.

Kim Sophorn, an undersecretary of state at SSCA, said the industry was now entering a new phase of technological innovation that will enable them to achieve better results when it comes to training and forming the next generation of aviation professionals.

He added that all new courses are being organised in cooperation with the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) and taught by local trainers.

“They will play an important role in improving safety in the aviation sector,” he said. The CATC, the kingdom’s first centre of its kind, was officially inaugurated in March this year with funding from the South Korean government. It has already organised 15 courses, attended by 261 students.
