Why this article matters
The agreement gives Dornier Aviation Nigeria access to aircraft-specific digital training resources for its Dash 8 Q400 pilots, supporting structured systems knowledge development and allowing pilots to undertake and review coursework alongside their existing training schedules. The online format offers flexibility in delivering theoretical instruction without requiring pilots to attend all learning sessions in person.

For Avsoft, the agreement extends its footprint in the African aviation training market and reflects the role of digital courseware in supporting operator training programmes. The arrangement concerns aircraft systems training and does not, on its own, indicate an expansion of Dornier Aviation Nigeria’s fleet or operational activities.

Avsoft International has secured a new agreement with Dornier Aviation Nigeria AIEP Ltd. to provide its Dash 8 Q400 Aircraft Systems course, supporting the company's pilot training programme.

Based in Lagos State, Nigeria, Dornier Aviation Nigeria has selected Avsoft's online course to support pilots' understanding of the Dash 8 Q400's aircraft systems and operation.

The course provides structured aircraft systems instruction through interactive lessons, detailed illustrations and assessments. Its online format allows pilots to review course material at their own pace, helping reinforce knowledge and fit study into their training schedules.

The agreement expands Avsoft's presence in the African aviation market and provides Dornier Aviation Nigeria with access to its aircraft-specific training resources.

Avsoft works with operators and training organisations to deliver courseware that supports their training objectives. Through its aircraft systems courses, general subject library and learning management solutions, Avsoft helps customers manage and deliver aviation training.
