The main objective for establishing the AACO RTC was to provide management training in the Middle East and African region at a cost effective structure due to the lack of experts in the aviation industry in the Arab region in this field. The first certification that AACO regional Training Center RTC received in order to be able to provide any technical, safety, security or any other courses that need to be certified by the C. A'S in accordance with the regulations of J.A.A, F.A.A and ICAO was that the Jordanian Civil Aviation Authority granted to AACO in 2005. It was then followed by the certifications of the Syrian, Yemen, Sudan, and Libyan Civil Aviation Authorities. AACO RTC receives the renewals of all these certifications on an annual basis or according to the expiry date of each certificate. While other centers offer training courses that focus on the complex & specific components of the Middle Eastern air transport industry, AACO RTC has successfully positioned itself as a valuable partner in human resources development for air carriers & aviation-related organizations around the world, including airline staff from various parts of the world among its trainees. AACO RTC organizes an annual scheduled program ranges from 40 to 45 scheduled courses, as well as some additional courses according to the needs that arise every year. Also AACO RTC has adopted a strategy to promote in-house training activities which resulted in huge savings through training large numbers of airlines' staff at their home base, AACO RTC organizes more than 150 in-house training courses annually.
