hey. yea there is a course you can do and obtain a qualiication in aviation studies its done by city and guilds an average of 1200-1900 quid to complete but i dont think that includes the exames... its a self study programme which is great because you can take as long or as little as you want to learn, there are two levels foundation and then advance which obviously goes into the foundation level in alot more depth.... ive been in aviaiton 7 years and never knew this course exsisted untill recently so im very much considering taking this course up myself it seems to be the only way to go as most airlines and handling agents wanting to employ airside workers regarding dispatch and operations require..... if you do manage to get on the course let me know what you think and if you get a more specific idea of price ect..ta v.much good luck!!!
