Embry-Riddle Worldwide Offers New Online Aircraft Ground Schools

Daytona Beach, Fla., August 29, 2008 - Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Worldwide Campus, through its Office of Professional Education, is expanding its online course offerings to support the continuing education of professional pilots.

The University recently launched a series of aviation specialty courses to cover new technologies and processes for flight crews. These new aircraft specific ground schools are now available to cover the most modern airliners manufactured by the Boeing Company and Airbus. “We believe professional pilots, particularly our thousands of alumni, require superior options for continuing education in support of their careers.
