Resource Group’s Aviation Technical Training
division has been awarded UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) approval
to perform aviation maintenance basic training and knowledge examinations.

rapidly growing portfolio of training related products, the GCAA, CAR 147
certification allows Resource Group to deliver courses for CAR 66 Cat A,

under EASA approval that range from custom courseware, through to purpose- built
and managed aviation training.

and I am delighted to add the training business capability to our regional
offering."

engaging with interested parties to discuss how we can firmly establish
ourselves as a key contributor to skills development in the region," added
