TESTIMONIAL
"Undertaking the DAS in Aviation Management was one of the best decision's
I ever made: it provided me with a platform to develop a much broader
understanding of the aviation industry, particularly areas that I had not
already touched on working within the Air Cargo industry. It was also provided
a chance to work with a diverse group at varying stages of their careers and
coming from completely different cultures, as well as setting me up for my
EMBA year, also carried out at University of Geneva. A fantastic learning
experience and I would recommend highly.".
Joe NOTTER, Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), Manager Sales Operations EMEAA, UK
