Who the course is for

The Aircraft Mechanic Course is a paid specialist training program designed to develop fundamental technical skills and support the operational integration of trainees alongside certified SEAS technicians.

The program lasts 12 weeks and is conducted entirely in English. It combines classroom-based theoretical instruction with hands-on training in the hangar, with the aim of preparing future Qualified Aircraft Mechanics through practical and professionally oriented experience.

Main course topics:

During the course, participants will cover the main topics of the aviation industry, including:

  • Aviation regulations
  • Fundamentals of aerodynamics
