Management Certificate
in Civil Aviation

As the aviation world continues to confront unprecedented challenges, one of them being a rise in the number of people taking to the skies again after the pandemic, it is obvious that the managerial skill level of aviation professionals, and the innovation and vision of those professionals, is crutial to the success of the sector. The Management Certificate in Civil Aviation (MCCA) covers three main topics to help leaders prepare and enhance their leadership skills in civil aviation.

 

Offered in partnership with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the objective of the MCCA is to enhance the aviation management competencies of qualified personnel in the civil aviation community.
