KOPIERET
Large machines, great responsibility. As an aircraft technician, you are responsible for inspecting and maintaining airplanes and helicopters. The job requires an eye for detail and a well-developed sense of safety, as it comes with significant responsibility - after all, things can go quite wrong if everything is not in order when flying at 40,000 feet.
You will become well-versed in fields such as aerodynamics, engines, aircraft structures, and aircraft instruments. You will also study subjects like physics, mathematics, and electronics. This provides you with a solid theoretical and practical background, preparing you to handle complex technical challenges in the aviation industry.
As an aircraft technician, a great responsibility rests on your shoulders, but you will also be compensated accordingly and have an incredibly exciting job. The training is international and gives you the opportunity to work all over Europe. You can also choose to further your education and become, for example, a mechanical engineer or an electronics engineer.
