We started this programme in 2012 and have had the privilege to watch these students grow as managerial leaders.” One of the students in line to graduate in September is Tristan Keeley who is one of the Status Aviation students. In response to how his experience has been at Da Vinci, Keeley replied, “Through doing this qualification it has afforded me the opportunity to expand my knowledge into these different fields and also become much more aware of the operations of business…I am very pleased that I studied at Da Vinci and have been taught by some of the best facilitators in the industry.”
