The Welsh Assembly Government has provided Deeside College with financial support to enable investment in aircraft maintenance equipment and training facilities which support aerospace manufacturing and maintenance businesses across Wales and the UK.
Deeside College now has EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) Part 147 approval from the Civil Aviation Authority as a satellite centre of Barry College to run training programmes towards the EASA Part 66 accreditation, which licensed engineers must have in order to carry out aircraft maintenance and ‘continuing airworthiness’ checks on aircraft.
By working in partnership with Barry College, we have been able to develop a range of training and development programmes for employees working on the maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft.
