Dublin Aerospace have launched their Trainee Aircraft Engineer Programme 2025. The career of an Aircraft Maintenance Trainee is challenging and demands a high level of commitment. It involves two disciplines; Avionics and Mechanical. The course covers a broad range of subjects including Air Frames and Jet Engines (with associated Mechanical and Avionics Systems), Aircraft Structures, Sheet metal and Composite Materials, Physics, Mathematics, Technical Drawing, Workshop Technology and Practice Avionics.
This four-year programme is split between Base Maintenance Facility at Dublin Airport and a Part 147 school. Assessment is via a mixture of continuous and end-of-course examinations. This continuous assessment will include practical and written assignments, together with homework study during a four-year training term.
During the Trainee Programme, the trainee will be expected to complete a technical training log which will demonstrate the outcome of his or her learning. The training log is completed at each stage of the programme.
