Aviation Training Academy

Colossal Aviapartner Services has become one of the Biggest Ground Handling training agents in South Africa. Owing to this growth we established a Training Academy, which has received a 5-star approval rating from Auditors, TETA, Airlines and South African Civil Aviation Authority.

The Colossal Avia Partner Training Academy is committed to ensuring world-class training to qualify aviation professionals in all the functions that they represent. We also provide periodic training programs to enhance technical and soft skills in-line with the company and customer airline requirements while staying up to date with international rules, regulations, and procedures such as SACAA, IATA and ICAO.

We offer training in the margin of 2000-2500 course interventions per month depending on the demand across all our airports we are operating from within South Africa. Our Team consists of a team of Training and Development Practitioners(instructors) in South Africa, providing high-quality training through Classroom training and on-the-job training evaluations. They are subject matter experts for above the wing and below the wing compliant and functional training.

Bringing change to Ground Handling…

We had the privilege to be the first Ground Handling Company to have accreditation to provide the National Certificate in Aviation Support Operations. This program was rolled out in 2019-2020.

Our Trainers are fully qualified, by the South African Civil Aviation Authority, ACSA and our collection of Airlines for all Ground Handling training. We have had the opportunity to travel the world with our clients Singapore Airlines, Etihad, Ethiopian Airlines, Qatar Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Kenya Airways and Emirates to name a few, becoming certified on their Systems and Customer Excellence Training.

Training Academy and the team are certified Aviation Security, Dangerous Goods, Airside Vehicle Operating Permit and Airside Induction Trainers.

For the Operations our experience and knowledge go as far as all Ramp equipment used such as Cargomatic, Passenger Steps, Conveyor, both Lower and High Loaders, Bus Driving, Passenger Aid Unit equipment, Tow Tugs and Toilet and Water equipment to mention but a few.

Our Airlines have also certified our team on their Check in system such as Altea, Sabre, AS Connect, Ink DCS and Hitit just to mention a few.
