AMAC Aerospace has launched AMAC Academy, a new training programme designed to develop highly skilled aircraft maintenance professionals through industry-focused, hands-on learning. The first intake will be in January 2027.
The programme is located within the facilities of AMAC Aerospace Switzerland at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg and has been developed in line with EASA Part-147 and FOCA requirements. It is designed to prepare students for the EASA Part-66 Basic Licence in either Category B1.1, covering aircraft mechanical systems and turbine engines, or Category B2, covering avionics.
Students will train within AMAC Aerospace’s operational environment, which is approved under EASA and FOCA regulations. They will have access to the company’s aircraft, components, workshops and experienced aviation professionals, the aim being to help them to develop the technical expertise and practical skills required by today’s aviation sector.
The full-time programme is delivered in English with industry professionals as instructors. Successful completion of the training will be rewarded with a Certificate of Recognition, qualifying graduates to apply for an EASA Aircraft Maintenance License (AML) with reduced practical experience requirements. An EASA Part-147 training programme allows graduates to submit their EASA Part-66 License application after four years, rather than the standard five.
Ruedi Kurz, director of AMAC Academy training, said: “Our training programmes are designed to fully meet all EASA Part-147 requirements and equip students and professionals with the knowledge, skills and practical experience needed to succeed in today’s aviation industry.”
