INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS – NIGERIA INQUIRY BROCHURE Page 2

About the College The International College of Aeronautics (ICA) is a USA registered school and Lagos State government

approved vocational training institution. The school is established to provide aviation education

training for people aspiring to work in licensed and non-licensed aviation disciplines.

Aviation education is that branch of general education concerned with communicating knowledge,

skills, and attitudes about aviation and its impact on the society. It may be integrated as part of the

curriculum for high schools and tertiary institutions.

The advent of aviation education has contributed immensely to the technological advancement of the

industrialized nations; Africa is the next frontier. It will be exciting to plant the seed of aviators from

the state’s existing Secondary Schools, technical colleges and tertiary institutions.

The training involved in aviation has built-in skills that our youths can acquire to become job creators

instead of being job seekers.

Aviation is the fastest growing industry in Africa today. There are existing shortages of skilled

manpower to service the growing aviation industry. Most companies hire foreign expatriates because

the indigenous people don’t have the required skills/experiences to take on these jobs.

Our graduates will hence be equipped with the tools to contribute to a sustainable technological

advancement of aerospace industry in Nigeria.

Our Foreign Affiliates

Oklahoma, USA

ICA has affiliation with Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology Tulsa Oklahoma, USA. Our

students start their training at our College for certificate in Basic Aviation Technology to Diploma

program in Applied Aviation Science. AAS will take care of your ground schools in Private,

Commercial and Instrument here in Nigeria with full access and opportunity to continue your flying

portion at Spartan.

ICA Partners with Gleim Aviation in USA to offer On-Line FAA Part 141 ground school courses. Gleim

Aviation was approved by FAA on June 3rd, 2013 as authorized Pilot School to conduct the On-

line Part 141 Pilot Ground School Courses in Sport Pilot, Private Pilot, Instrument Rating and

Commercial Pilot courses.Our students will receive credits for online ground school courses towards

your Diploma program in Applied Aviation Science.

ICA also has affiliation with Zenith Aircraft Company in Mexico, Missouri, USA and our students learn

to build a complete flyable Experimental aircraft during the entire advance diploma program in

Aircraft Building Technology. The training involved has built-in skills that our youths can acquire to

become job creators instead of being job seekers.

Unemployment in Nigeria There are over 65 million unemployed people in Nigeria. More of them are our youths. If you are a

Nigerian, you probably know someone between the ages of 15-35 looking for a job. A large number

of these youths have college degrees, many graduated from two to five years ago. They are your

children, cousins, nephews, nieces, brothers and sisters. And they all have one thing in common.

!!!!! No Jobs !!!!!!.

INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS – NIGERIA INQUIRY BROCHURE Page 4

In aviation, there are over three hundred freshly graduated pilots unemployed in Nigeria largely

because they have no experience to secure lucrative jobs with Airlines. Our school to work program

will provide experience opportunities for our young graduates to secure those lucrative jobs

available in the industry.

Our Education Center

The era of isolation in aviation education is over. Most of aviation technologies in advanced world

are utilized outside the airport environment. They can commonly be found at our homes, shops and

small & large scale industries.

Our development plan is to partner with institutions of higher learning for research and technological

collaborations. At the same time, we are bringing education to your doorsteps.

Currently, we have established education centers with Lagos State Polytechnics and Aero Contractors

of Nigeria. The Ikorodu Center run a semester system. But prospective students can enroll on

monthly basis.

The ICA-Laspotech Education Center is located on the main campus of Lagos State Polytechnic at

Ikorodu, Lagos. The center offers Certificates and Diploma courses in 1. Basic Aviation Technology,

2. Applied Aviation Science (Flight & Maintenance Specialties).

Certificate Course

The certificate and diploma courses are intended to induce more youths into aviation industry. It can

also be used as pipeline program towards enrollment into institutions offering NCAA sanctioned

licensing programs. Our programs are designed to foster industry and community relationships

thereby ensuring the training of the public in various aspects of aviation curriculum to compliment

different non-aviation discipline that are essential to operational efficiency and safety within the

industry.
