Foundation Programs
We provide foundation programmes for General and Technical English, Mathematics, Physics and IT. All classrooms are equipped with cutting edge educational technology and software, and course objectives are met using modern teaching methodology. Our student-centred approach fosters independent learning, and our overall objective is to help students graduate and acquire the required skills to excel in their chosen field of aviation. All students are tested at the point of entry to determine the appropriate programme required.

General English
- Beginner
Beginner level is structured as an introduction to our programme for those with little or no knowledge of English. The course is designed to take students to level A1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Starter Level: An introduction to basic areas of alphabet and numbers. Use of simple grammatical structures to recognise and produce in a limited context. Lexis building through word banks and families focusing on common themes of family and daily life. - Elementary
Elementary level is aimed at developing learner’s English language and introducing learning and study skills and strategies. The course is designed to take students to level A2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Elementary Level Grammar and Vocabulary: Present simple and continuous and past simple tenses. Negative, interrogative and response structures. Introduction to making comparisons, permission and obligation. Forms of introduction, countries and nationalities, jobs. Travel, food, weather, physical descriptions of people and places. Skills: Reading, listening and speaking skills mirroring the structures and lexis described. Writing elements and processes. - Pre-Intermediate
Pre-Intermediate level is aimed at further developing learner’s English language and improving their critical thinking and study skills. The course is designed to take students from A2 to B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Pre-Intermediate level Grammar and Vocabulary: Revision of present simple and continuous and past simple tenses. Introduction to future forms, plans and intentions, together with perfect, continuous and conditional structures. Further development of use of articles, prepositional phrases, comparative forms and quantifiers. Routines and activities. Descriptions of people and places. Holidays, health, products and technologies. Skills: Reading, listening and speaking skills mirroring the structures and lexis described. Development of Writing elements, processes and genre. - Intermediate
Intermediate level is aimed at advancing learner’s English language towards preparing to sit their IELTS exam whilst continuing to improve their critical thinking and study skills. The course is designed to take students from B1 towards B2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). - Upper Intermediate
Upper-Intermediate level builds on and refines the foundations of language learning in English achieved at levels up to and including Intermediate. This course advances students into band C on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). - Advanced
Advanced English is the concluding level of the General English programme. On completion, students will have a thorough undertanding of English and will be able to deal with communication at all levels. The level gained on the course will exceed the minimum requirements needed for entry in to all major programmes at QAC in IELTS at approximately C1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

General Mathematics
General mathematics
- Elementary
Elementary course is designed to be an introduction for basic arithmetic to students who have little knowledge of Mathematics or who studied Mathematics in Arabic language. Students will be taught how to read and write in standard notation, how to perform all operations on whole numbers, Integers and Fractions. They will learn how to round and approximate numbers and answers for good estimations. Order of operations BODMAS is an important skill in Elementary level. - Pre-Intermediate
The Pre-Intermediate course is aimed to help students working on decimals, per-centages, ratio and Proportions. The course focuses on the introduction of Algebra like simplifying expressions and solving linear equations. This course is also a refresh of the basics of statistics like reading and interpreting graphs, finding the arithmetic mean, median and mode. - Intermediate
The Intermediate course focuses mainly on Geometry of plane and solid basic shapes going through the angles, triangles and polygons properties. It continues with more Algebra followed by solving and graphing linear equations and inequali-ties. Students will be required to apply the learnt skills to solve real-life problems. - Upper Intermediate
The upper-Intermediate course covers the operations on the polynomials and the different types of factoring. It covers as well the rational expressions and rational equations and their applications. The last part is a smooth introduction to Physics courses, covering measurement units, the trigonometry in the right-angled triangles and Vectors.
Technical Mathematics
Techical mathematics
- Technical 1
The Tech 1 mathematics program continues to build upon the basic foundation of math presented at the lower levels while introducing higher-level skills and concepts. The topics will be System of Equations, Radical Expressions and Equations, Quadratic equations, Scientific notations, Transposing for a given variable and working with higher roots which involves the rational exponents. The students will be required to apply these skills in solving real-life problems. - Technical 2 Pilot
The Tech 2 Mathematics (Pilots/ATC) course focuses extensively on the topics required for PTD or ATC. The students brush up their knowledge on units of measurements, Angles and triangles, Plane and Solid geometry, Ratio, proportion and Percentages, Trigonometry and also extend their knowledge about Number speed Distance time, Time zones and length of time. Students will be required to apply these skills in problem-solving and real-life applications. - Technical 2 Engineering
