Diploma in Understanding Air, Space and the Law

Aviation law is amongst the most complex branches of law because it is intermingled with various laws related to use of Land, Air including Economic laws of different countries. The most vital part of the law of aviation is to give a structure that keeps the aeronautics business protected, reasonable, and skilful. With private airlines expanding operations through out the globe and with the opening up of the space sector to private companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin and many others, a lot of interest has been generated in the legal sector vis-a-vis Aviation and Space regulations. According to the law firm and our policy, the course fees will not be refunded.

In every walk of life, the process of evaluation takes place in one form or the other. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. Being in the same line, Enhelion is committed to evaluate the process of learning through its courses.

The enrollee will be evaluated based on two Project Assignments, which would test the analytical understanding of the topics covered in the video lecture. 

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can choose to undergo the evaluation process as and when you are ready for the same.

To be eligible to receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, one is required to secure an overall minimum of 40 percent in the Project Assignments.
