Do you want to work in aviation? Are you great at practical tasks, with a
keen eye for detail and the ability to problem solve? If so, this course could
be for you.
For the first part of Year One students on all three pathways will study a
common curriculum designed to familiarise you with the industry as a whole.
Employers and industry experts have told us that they need staff that understand
and appreciate the knowledge, skills and competencies of a range of job roles
across aviation.
You will also complete the National Citizenship Scheme (NCS). Designed
especially for 16 and 17 year olds, the NCS experience will give you a clearer
idea of what you want from your future. It is designed to unite and empower you,
building your confidence so you can go out there and achieve your dreams, no
matter where you’re from or what your background is.
You’ll spend a week in the autumn mixing with your new group and taking on
fresh challenges together. Before you know it, you’ll be rooting for each other,
as you all tackle your own little hurdles. The City & Guilds Level Three
Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance course will focus on aircraft engineering theory
and practical training.
This course will also develop your practical hand skills using specialist
aircraft tooling and virtual reality (VR) simulation to carry out maintenance on
aircraft systems and structures. It is designed to enable you to gain the
required theory qualifications and practical experience to become an Aircraft
Fitter/Technician assisting in carrying out routine maintenance on jet aircraft
and leading to a CAA Part 66 A1 Aircraft Maintenance Licence*.
