We are delighted to announce that Aviation Courses by ATC Training is sponsoring the Aviation Professional Training Award at the Aviation Industry Awards UK 2026.
As a training provider with strong links to the aviation sector, this is an award that feels particularly relevant to us. Professional training plays an important role in developing the skills, knowledge and competence that aviation professionals need throughout their careers.
The Aviation Industry Awards UK 2026 will take place on 22 September 2026 at the Park Plaza London Riverbank, bringing together organisations and professionals from across the sector to recognise achievement and excellence within UK aviation.
Why We’re Sponsoring the Aviation Professional Training Award
Training and professional development are fundamental to aviation.
It is an industry where high standards matter and where individuals need opportunities to continually develop their knowledge, competence and professional capabilities.
That’s why we’re particularly pleased to be sponsoring the Aviation Professional Training Award.
The category recognises organisations contributing to professional training within aviation, making it closely aligned with our own commitment to learning, development and high-quality training.
Supporting this award gives us an opportunity to celebrate organisations that are investing in people and helping aviation professionals develop the skills they need for their careers.
Congratulations to the 2026 Finalists
The shortlist for the 2026 Aviation Professional Training Award has now been announced, with five organisations named as finalists:
We would like to congratulate all five finalists on reaching the shortlist. Being recognised at a national industry awards event is an achievement in itself, and we’re looking forward to learning more about the work behind each entry and celebrating the contribution these organisations are making to aviation training and professional development.
Supporting Professional Development in Aviation
Our involvement in the Aviation Industry Awards UK reflects something that has always been important to us: helping people develop professionally through effective, high-quality training.
The aviation industry encompasses an enormous range of occupations and specialisms, but one requirement remains consistent across the sector – knowledgeable, capable people.
Effective training helps individuals build that capability while giving employers greater confidence in the knowledge and skills within their organisations.
For those involved in delivering workplace training, assessment and quality assurance, having the right skills is equally important. Trainers and assessors have a direct influence on the quality of learning and development experienced by others.
It’s an area we’re proud to support through our own training and qualifications.

We wish easyJet, Newham College, Stansted Airport College, Teesside University and University College Birmingham the very best of luck.
We’re proud to be sponsoring the Aviation Professional Training Award 2026, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the awards in September.
