How long is the Aircraft Mechanic Training program?The program is roughly 30 months. The first 12-18 months are all based at Rand Airport and comprise of 19 Aviation modules. 15 of these modules have theoretical and practical assessments to ensure you don't only gain book-smarts but also be able to practically apply that knowledge. After you have completed and passed all of your modules, you will write your phase test which is essentially your final exam that covers 18 of the modules (Welcome and induction is not part of this exam). Now you are ready to start working on your hours. You need to have a total of 2800 logged practical hours that were completed at a Civil Aviation Authority Approved Maintenance Organization (Part 145-AMO). We place you at one of these AMO's so that you do not have to send out CV's and hope for a placement. Depending on your drive and commitment, you can obtain these hours in 12-18 months. Once this is completed, you come back to ITC in preparation of your trade test. Trade Test Preparation takes 2 weeks and the Trade Test is conducted over 2 days.

Do I get a Diploma or Degree after I have completed my course?Aviation is a completely different industry. You cannot work on an Aircraft with a Degree or Diploma.

This is one industry where a Degree or Diploma does not mean much.

Do you guarantee me a job after completion?Unfortunately, no one guarantee someone a job after completing a qualification.
