MRO provider AMAC Aerospace is launching a new aircraft maintenance training programme to develop aircraft maintenance professionals through an industry-focused, hands-on learning environment.

AMAC Academy will be based at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg with the first intake to begin in January 2027.

Located within the facilities of AMAC Aerospace Switzerland, AMAC Academy is developed in accordance with EASA Part-147 and FOCA requirements and is designed to prepare students for their EASA Part-66 Basic License in either Category B1.1 (aircraft mechanical systems and turbine engines) or B2 (avionics).

AMAC Aerospace said the academy provides a unique opportunity for students to learn directly within AMAC Aerospace’s operational aviation environment, which is approved under EASA and FOCA regulations.

Students have access to AMAC Aerospace’s aircraft, components, workshops, and experienced aviation professionals, allowing them to develop both the technical expertise and practical skills required by today’s aviation sector.

The full-time programme will be delivered in English with industry professionals as instructors.

Successful completion of the training will lead to 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 instead of five years.
