Three AvGen Pathways
Three connected routes into the future of aviation - industry-overlaid, shaped, Pearson-BTEC powered and open to learners wherever our Partners are.
Our Pathways provide one strong example of what aligned, industry-shaped aviation education can look like in practice. Built with major employers and delivered with partner colleges, they give learners a shared foundation for entering aviation with confidence, readiness and a clear sense of where they belong.
