Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Apprenticeship - Dublin / Shannon

Shannon-based Atlantic Aviation Group (AAG) is hoping to recruit the next generation of aircraft maintenance engineers and solve a global skills need with new trainee and apprenticeship opportunities starting in June and September/October. There are also a number of courses being run in Shannon & Dublin for Aircraft related traineeships.

Because there is a worldwide shortage of qualified aircraft maintenance engineers, this profession is one of the most sought after skillsets in global aviation.

The Aircraft Maintenance course is designed to fulfil the basic theoretical training and practical experience requirements to apply for an EASA Part 66 Category A – Aircraft Maintenance Licence.

AAG chief aviation services officer Eva O’Keeffe said: “As well as addressing our skills needs here at AAG, there is a global shortage of qualified aircraft engineers, making this an extremely valuable skill and exciting career to embark on. Through our Training Academy and partnership with the Limerick and Clare Education Training Board we are committed to running three CAT A Traineeship classes this year to address this skill shortage”

The qualifications awarded through Atlantic Aviation Group – including a Category B1 licence for qualified apprentices – allow engineers to work anywhere in the world, but there also courses in Dublin.

The programmes:

AAG is offering a two-year Aircraft Maintenance Traineeship, with one intake starting on June 12 this year and a second intake on October 23. The course is run by AAG and LCETB. Those who complete the programme will receive a Category A Aircraft Maintenance License (from the Irish Aviation Authority). Applications are open now at https://www.fetchcourses.ie/course/finder?sfcw-courseId=399025 and more information on course can be found here – https://www.atlanticaviation.ie/aircraft-maintenance-traineeship/

AAG is also offering four-year Aircraft Maintenance Apprenticeship starting in September this year. The course is run by Atlantic Aviation Group and LCETB Shannon Campus. Some of the learning is delivered at TUD-Bolton Street, Dublin. Those who complete the programme will receive a Category B1 licence which is recognised worldwide.
