Aviation Australia has signed an agreement to deliver a specialised training program for Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) technicians at Aviation Australia’s Brisbane campus.
The program will commence December 2013, and is part of an ongoing partnership between Aviation Australia and RSAF to provide high quality and internationally recognised aviation training, and has been designed to provide the technicians’ technical skills to meet the latest international standards.
The technicians will undertake an aviation English language program prior to the commencement of their technical training, and will complete either a B1.1 Mechanical or a B2 Avionics course which is dependent upon their relevant trades and experience.
Bill Horrocks, CEO of Aviation Australia said “The first group completed their training in September this year, and this program proved to be highly successful with all of the students meeting the requirements of their trades. This group of students includes experienced technicians who are upgrading their skills to the latest international standards, as well as a group of students who are beginning their careers as aircraft maintenance engineers and will complete our full basic training program over 30 months.”
The organisation is the only training organisation in Australia that provides students with engineering qualifications recognised by both the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
In July, Aviation Australia celebrated the successful completion of its sixth group of students from Saudi Arabia National Guard (SANG).
