Emirates Group Security has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which will see both organisations work closely on capacity building for the industry by providing ICAO-recognized Diploma programmes provided by EGS and Edith Cowan University (ECU).
The Ground Handling Diploma programme is the first initiative ICAO and Emirates are collaborating on. Aviation professionals who complete the industry-based Ground Handling Diploma programme jointly provided by Emirates Group Security and ECU will receive a Certificate of succession completion bearing both Emirates and ICAO emblems.
The MoU was signed by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive Emirates Airline & Group and Mr. Juan Carlos Salazar, Secretary General of the International Civil Aviation Organization, at the AVSEC Global Symposium 2021 Opening Ceremony.
As part of this partnership, the AVSEC service provider Emirates Group Security and ICAO will look into jointly developing and delivering other training and academic courses under the ICAO TRAINAIR PLUS programme. The two parties will also identify training needs, determine how to effectively use existing training resources, develop new course materials, integrate new technologies, and evaluate the effectiveness of using post-training evaluation methodologies.
