The\u00a0first course will start on the Airbus A320 and will help those pursuing licences as part of their apprentice training schemes.<\/p>\n<p>Under the partnership, which was made during the recent IFA UK Industry Leaders Panel Event, the IFA will provide free memberships and the BSA will provide free general familiarisation courses.<\/p>\n<p>Both organisations share the vision that early-stage training and mentorship are vital to developing the workforce and helping to equip the next generation with the skills and insights necessary to thrive in aviation.<\/p>\n<p>Shonu Bamrah, accountable manager at the BSA, said: &#8220;At the BSA, we are committed to setting the highest standards in aviation training and this collaboration with the IFA allows us to give apprentices the best possible start in their careers without their respective organisations incurring costs and perhaps allocating funds into other areas of their development \u2013 our instructor community espouse BSA values and leaped at this opportunity to help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mick Adams, technical director of the IFA and board advisor for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bsa.world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BSA<\/a>, said: \u201cThis collaboration exemplifies our shared values and belief in the importance of education and mentorship.
