Airport College International offers e-learning

Global air traffic is expected to double in the next 20 years, creating millions of new

jobs. The aviation industry faces a huge challenge to deliver training for the new

workforce. The industry needs to attract new talents by providing new training

methods and forward-looking career paths.

"The aviation sector is growing and Oman is pushing ahead with efforts to boost

tourism and cargo numbers through the expansion of its aviation infrastructure and

provide a significant number of new jobs in the near future. Together with our partner

NHI, we can provide high quality and efficient training solutions," said Airport College

International CEO, Pertti Mero.

"The aviation sector has been boosted by government investments and a stronger

sector has the potential to benefit trade, SMEs, tourism and logistics and can support

the promotion and awareness of Oman on a global scale. We strongly believe that

we ca help airlines, ground handling companies, logistics service providers as well as

job seekers to save on training costs without compromising the quality of training," said

Robert MacLean, NHI principal.

Adil Abdullah Qader Al-Zadjali

I joined NHI as an aviation student employed by Oman

Air on the NVQ program which I thoroughly enjoyed. NHI

is a great place to train and is dedicated to training and

especially young Omanis. The training immerses you in

an on job environment with its live restaurant, kitchens

and accommodation available to the public, so

reception works like you’d be working in a hotel. This on

the job style training ensures it prepares you to go

straight from training into the workplace.

Whilst at NHI I received training on the aviation industry, tourism and had English

classes. Once I had completed my training I joined Oman Air as a check in

operator at Seeb International, moving on into a promotion with Emirates Airline

after two years as customer service agent.

After 10 years with Emirates I completed my BBA and returned to Oman Air being

promoted to a district sales manager position for one year and then transferred to

the Holidays Department as a holiday sales manager.

I have now been working with Oman Arab Bank since 2015 in their sales

department. I owe a lot to NHI for my training and career progression.

I trained at NHI in 2006 as a travel student, completing

the IATA course. I was one of the luckiest to be selected

out of thousands who applied. I found the environment

in NHI was warm and welcoming and the teaching

methods, encouraging team work, have really helped

me throughout my career journey. The fact that you

get paid while you train and that at the end you are

awarded international qualifications makes NHI’s

training courses so much more accessible and feasible.

After completing my IATA course I started working for National Travel and Tourism

(NTT) in the tours inbound department for one and a half years as a tours

consultant. I was then successful in securing an internal transfer to the outbound

holidays department and worked there for five years. Following this I was

promoted to a senior holidays consultant position. I had very rich experiences

working in these different departments meeting lots of different people from

different countries and gave me opportunities to travel abroad.

After spending almost six years in NTT, I got an offer for a position which was a

promotion with Oman United Agencies. Soon I was promoted to the position of

holidays supervisor which I have held for the past five years.

I'm so proud to be one of the successful students of NHI and am thankful to all of

my dedicated instructors for all their hard work and support. I would highly

recommend that anyone interested in joining the hospitality industry to train at

NHI.
