Our insight

Powered by our people

When it comes to training, our people are our biggest asset. Our experienced pool of trainers bring a combination of deep subject matter expertise and coaching skills wherever they go. They have developed a close connection with the customer and understanding of the students they're supporting - many of them have been there themselves. They don't just know the syllabus; they help to create it. 

Whether it is learning new language skills, technical training, air traffic control, logistics or flight crew, our training programmes give students the knowledge they need. We help pilots make the transition between elementary training to fast jets, and support technicians to move from the classroom to the flight line. 

Across the globe, we deliver the skills and capabilities that matter most for our customers, embracing new technologies to enhance training services and products. We pride ourselves on our close partnership with our customers to ensure we deliver the skills they need to maintain operational readiness.

Our innovation

Training for the future

We are working collaboratively with the world’s brightest minds and specialists in disruptive technology - artificial intelligence, human factors, machine learning and gaming - to evolve the training experience for the future battlespace.

Our integration

Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer

The Hawk – the world’s most successful and proven military trainer aircraft with more than 25,000 fast jet pilots trained – says everything you need to know about our training pedigree.

The world’s leading air forces use Hawk’s advanced airborne simulation to prepare pilots for life in the fast jet cockpit of aircraft including Typhoon and F-35, and with pilots of future combat air systems such as Tempest set to train in Hawk it will continue to be the world’s flying classroom thousands more pilots.

But the real value we bring is platform agnostic. It’s a deeper understanding of the customer’s needs and clear ability to connect with individuals we serve. What it boils down to is simple: our customers want their people to achieve operational status as proficiently as possible. For us that means creating training solutions that are smarter, more focused on an individual’s needs and how they learn, how they think and how they operate.
