OUR SCHOOLS

Aerospace and
Defense

Structured, standards-aligned capability development for the Saudi nationals who operate and protect the Kingdom's critical national infrastructure.

Saudi Arabia's aerospace and defense sectors require workforce capability built to recognized international standards - delivered at scale, verified against defined benchmarks and maintained in the operational environments where it will be applied. Generic technical provision does not meet that bar.

"In sectors like aerospace and defense, the consequences of inadequate capability are significant. Our programs are aligned to recognized international standards precisely because we take that seriously."

The School of Aerospace and Defense is an internationally accredited advanced technology and systems capability platform dedicated to building sovereign technical capability in Saudi nationals. Programs span the critical domains required across aviation, government systems, national communications, infrastructure resilience and humanitarian response. The majority are delivered in-Kingdom, in operationally relevant environments, by specialist practitioners with direct sector experience.

PROGRAM AREAS

The school delivers structured capability programs across six domains.

  • AIRCRAFT AND SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE

    Structured maintenance capability aligned to NAS 410 and FAA Part 147. Programs cover inspection, repair, and systems integrity for aviation and defense platforms.

  • RADAR AND RF SYSTEMS

    Capability development for the operation and maintenance of radar and radio frequency systems supporting national communications and defense infrastructure.

  • ELECTROMAGNETIC SYSTEMS

    Programs covering electromagnetic systems critical to national infrastructure, communications resilience and operational readiness.

  • AVIONICS AND SENSORS

    Structured capability in avionics systems and sensor technology for aviation and defense applications.

  • SOVEREIGN IT SECURITY

    Capability development for the protection of classified and operationally sensitive government networks and national digital infrastructure.

  • INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH FOR INTEROPERABILITY

    Language capability aligned to STANAG 6001, building the language proficiency required for international technical cooperation, interoperability, and humanitarian response.

NDI CERTIFICATION PIPELINE

The Academy's Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) certification pipeline is a structured 12-month program delivering Level 1 and Level 2 certification across eight courses, aligned to NAS 410. The pipeline builds verified inspection capability for aerospace maintenance at scale - a defined progression from foundational knowledge through to independently certified operational competence.

DELIVERY MODEL

How capability is built and where it is delivered matters as much as what is taught.

  1. Primarily in-Kingdom delivery

    Most programs are delivered within Saudi Arabia, in operationally relevant environments where aerospace, defense and national infrastructure capability will be applied.

  2. Specialist practitioners

    Programs are delivered by experienced practitioners with direct operational backgrounds in aerospace, defense and critical infrastructure sectors.

  3. Saudi-owned

    The Academy is a Saudi-owned institution, backed by Al-Jasser Holding Group. Sovereign ownership underpins the school's role in building national capability.

  4. Operational environments

    Capability is built in environments that reflect real operational conditions - not in classroom settings removed from the realities of the sectors we serve.

WHAT WE DO

Every Arabian Academy program follows the same structured TAP model: Training in standards-aligned environments; Application in real workplaces; Performance measured against defined standards. This is how we build capability that lasts.

Training environment with modern briefing room and dashboards

We Train

Structured knowledge and skills transfer in standards-aligned programs, designed around defined capability outcomes.

Aerial night view of urban mobility and interconnected infrastructure

We Apply

Learning embedded in real or operationally relevant workplace environments, so capability is built where it will be used.

We Measure

Performance verified against defined standards using recognized frameworks including the Kirkpatrick Model, so capability is proven, not assumed.
