TP has teamed up with Lufthansa Technical Training, Germany (LTT), to offer a unique Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) training programme.
Currently the only such course in Singapore, the programme is offered to TP students from the Electronics and Mechatronics courses who have elected for the Aerospace Electronics and Aerospace Engineering options, respectively.
Students will benefit from LTT’s expertise in aircraft maintenance and training, as well as the facilities in the new LTT Aerospace Training Centre which will be set up in TP’s Engineering School. At the same time, students can also sit for 11 of the 12 exam papers leading to the AML Engineer certification. This means that they can get their AML licence much sooner after graduating from TP.
Commenting on the tie-up, Mr Lim Kim Choon, director-general and CEO of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), said: “This programme, which meets the CAAS’ latest maintenance personnel licensing standards, aims to produce competent professionals to meet the dynamic needs of the aviation industry. We are confident that students who graduate from this training programme will be sought after by the aviation industry.” |
