It is also recognized as being amongst the top fifteen higher vocational institutes in China.
Under this partnership, ACHE will offer six programmes of study including Tourism and Travel, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, Aircraft Structure Engineering, Avionics, Electrical Engineering as well as Computer Network Engineering and Telecommunications.

The first batch of students will commence classes at ACHE in September, and will be eligible to be transferred to China in September 2011.
