AMAC Aerospace has launched AMAC Academy, a new aircraft maintenance training programme designed to develop highly skilled maintenance professionals through hands-on, industry-focused training at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg. The first intake is scheduled for January 2027.
Based at the facilities of AMAC Aerospace Switzerland AG, the academy has been developed in line with EASA Part-147 and FOCA requirements. It will prepare students for the EASA Part-66 Basic Licence in either Category B1.1 (mechanical systems and turbine engines) or Category B2 (avionics).
Students will train within AMAC Aerospace’s live operational environment, gaining direct access to aircraft, components, workshops and experienced aviation professionals. The full-time programme is delivered in English and combines classroom learning with practical experience.
Graduates will receive a Certificate of Recognition, enabling them to apply for an EASA Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) with reduced practical experience requirements. Completion of the EASA Part-147 programme allows graduates to apply for an EASA Part-66 licence after four years instead of five.
“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,” stated Ruedi Kurz, Director AMAC Academy, Training.
