The Aviation Academy

The Aviation Academy is our specialist aviation education campus based at Leeds Bradford Airport, giving students a unique opportunity to learn in a real airside environment. As part of Craven College, we provide aviation-focused vocational and higher-level programmes designed to prepare students for careers across the aviation industry. Our location gives us access to flying schools, technical instruction, aviation expertise and strong links with industry partners. We use our campus to host educational activities including open evenings, open mornings, taster sessions, enrolment activities and opportunities for prospective students to explore our facilities and meet our tutors and support teams. Our facilities provide an authentic environment for learning, with the airport itself forming an important part of the wider setting. We welcome prospective students to our campus for scheduled events and provide information, guidance and support throughout their visit. Our dedicated team can be contacted directly for enquiries about the Academy and its facilities.
