In recent years, China Civil Aviation has maintained a rapid growth, becoming the most promising and dynamic air transport market in the world, and will also maintain a strong development trend in the future. Recently, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) issued the Outline of Action for Building Civil Aviation Power in the New Era, and put forward eight main tasks for shaping a strong civil aviation country. The healthy and rapid development of the civil aviation industry needs a large number of professionals who are proficient in aviation law.

In order to train high-end talents that match the status of China's civil aviation power, hosted by the Institute of International Law of Wuhan University, a national high-end think-tank, and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and co-organized by the International Cooperation and Services Center of China (ICSCC), the ICAO International Air Law Course will be held at Wuhan University from March 28 to April 1, 2019. The training programme is held in China for the first time and  for the third time in Asia, which is an excellent opportunity for Chinese civil aviation practitioners to mater the rules of international air law thoroughly, systematically and accurately.

Under the responsibility of the Training Office of the International Civil Aviation Organization, the project has been held in many countries all over the world, and has established a strict quality control system. The teaching experts, who are accredited by the International Civil Aviation Organization, adopt the mode of small class teaching (within 20 candidates), and the completion certificate issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization can be obtained by the student after attainment of passing grade (80%) on the Mastery Test.
