Emirates and ECU open centre for security and aviation excellence

The Emirates Group has cemented its relationship with Western Australia’s Edith Cowan University with the opening of the Centre for Security & Aviation Excellence.
The centre, run by Transguard Education Academy, is located at Emirates Group Security offices at Dubai Airport Free Zone, and offers programmes for security professionals, including those working in the aviation industry, plus other aviation-related training programmes.
In addition to the programme leading to the Diploma in Aviation Security Management, the centre now offers programmes leading to the Diploma in Security Investigations and the Diploma in Aviation Ground Handling.
As its sole representative, the Transguard Education Academy can assist students applying for educational opportunities with Edith Cowan University.
Professor Nara Srinivasan, the centre’s Director, explained: “The formation of the centre represents Emirates’ commitment to education and to laying the foundation for further programmes and research relevant to the aviation and security industries.
“To this end, the centre will collaborate with institutes in the UK, Australia and Singapore to host several research projects over the coming years.”
