Straight talk

Not a licence. A real head start.

InternAVIA courses, free or paid, are not affiliated with or approved by any aviation regulator, and we will never tell you otherwise. What they give you is what a fresher usually lacks: aviation knowledge you can show.

What a course is not

  • Not a licence, a rating or a regulated qualification.
  • Not affiliated with, approved or endorsed by any regulatory body, airline or university.
  • Not a promise of a job, an internship or an interview.

  • Real aviation knowledge

    How airports and airlines actually work, from the terminal to the turnaround. The thing most freshers cannot yet explain.

  • The language of the job

    The roles, words and procedures that come up when you apply and when you are interviewed.

  • A certificate on your CV

    A certificate of completion with a number anyone can check. Add it to your CV and your profile.

  • Confidence as a fresher

    Apply for entry-level aviation roles knowing what the work involves and what will be asked of you.

Getting the job comes down to your own skill and effort. The course makes sure you walk in with something real to show.

Who InternAVIA is for

Learners on one side, aviation employers on the other

One platform to learn aviation, prepare for opportunities, and connect with the aviation industry.

For learners

Students, recent graduates and career changers, in any country

Understand how aviation works, add relevant learning to your CV, and be ready to talk about the industry at interview. A course does not promise a job; it gives you a better start.

For aviation employers

Airlines, airports, ground handlers and aviation service companies

Give new joiners and interns a grounding in how an airport works, and use the employer plans to receive candidate shortlists for your roles. Courses here are introductory; they sit beside the mandatory training you give your own staff, not in place of it.

Yes. InternAVIA courses are open to learners in every country. They are online and self-paced, so you can study from anywhere, at any hour, and they are written in clear English. The lessons teach how aviation works in general and refer to international standards; some use airports and regulators in India as worked examples. Our internship and job listings are currently at airports in India.
Is the certificate a recognised aviation qualification?
No. It is a certificate of completion issued by InternAVIA. Introductory aviation knowledge and simulated exercises. Issued by Elite World Services Limited through InternAVIA. Not a licence, rating or qualification, and not recognised or endorsed by DGCA, BCAS, ICAO, IATA, ACI, any airline or any university.

You have 30 days from the day you enrol. Most people need about 6 hours in total; we suggest spreading it over 7 days.
What happens if I do not pass the final assessment?
You can retake it. You have 3 attempts in total, with a short break of 1 hour between them so you can revise.
Will a course get me a job or an internship?
Completing this course or holding its certificate does not guarantee a job, an internship, an interview or a place in any programme. A course helps you understand the industry and decide what to do next.
Are there more courses?
More subject courses are being prepared. They will appear in the course catalogue, with their syllabus and price, when they open. We do not announce dates or prices before they are confirmed.
