Aeronautical Mechanic Training Course

Who the course is for

The Aircraft Mechanic Course is a paid specialist training programme designed to provide participants with the basic technical skills required to work in the aircraft maintenance sector, assisting and supporting SEAS-certified technicians. The programme lasts approximately 12 weeks and is conducted in English. It combines classroom-based theoretical training with practical activities in the hangar and at maintenance bases, with the aim of preparing participants to embark on a professional development path as Qualified Aircraft Mechanics.

Main course topics:

The training programme covers the main technical, regulatory and operational aspects of aircraft maintenance, including:
  • Safety and company procedures: introduction to aviation safety, operating procedures and company systems;
  • Aircraft maintenance and regulations: fundamental maintenance principles, aviation legislation, and procedures for the removal and installation of simple aircraft components;
  • Mechanical components and practices: assembly and disassembly of mechanical components and basic lubrication principles;
  • Tools and inspection techniques: use of measuring instruments and training in the main inspection techniques;
  • Safety and onboard systems: fundamentals of aircraft safety and introduction to the main systems installed on board aircraft;
  • Structural work: training in the main techniques used for working on and repairing aircraft structures;
  • Practical maintenance activities: carrying out practical aircraft maintenance tasks in an operational environment;
  • Competence assessment: theoretical and practical assessments aimed at evaluating the knowledge and skills acquired;
  • Practical training at a maintenance base: operational experience at a maintenance base;
  • Aircraft systems and equipment: further training on the main aircraft systems and equipment.

Course structure:

The programme combines theoretical training with practical instruction, allowing participants to progressively become familiar with the tools, procedures and activities involved in aircraft maintenance. Throughout the course, theoretical and practical assessments will be carried out to monitor learning progress and evaluate the skills acquired. At the end of the training period, participants are expected to be placed at one of SEAS’s operational locations in Italy, where they will work alongside and support qualified technicians, consolidating the skills acquired during the course and continuing their professional development. Important: the course is intended to provide professional training for the role of Aircraft Mechanic and is not intended to provide the examination modules required to obtain an Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML).
