EASA type training for the Middle East

Part-147 approved training for Gulf MROs, airlines and engineers — delivered at your facility, in Belgrade, or by live virtual classroom.

Why us

Why the Middle East comes to an EASA Part-147 organisation

The Gulf is one of the densest concentrations of aircraft maintenance capability anywhere. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Doha, Riyadh, Jeddah and Muscat all host maintenance organisations working on European-registered and lessor-owned aircraft, and many hold EASA Part-145 approval alongside their national one. Those organisations need certifying staff with EASA-recognised type training.

We hold EASA Part-147 Maintenance Training and Examination Organisation approval EASA.147.0140, covering nine aircraft types across Airbus, Boeing and Embraer for B1, B2 and C category training. The full schedule is on our courses page.

Who we train

Who this is for in the Middle East

MROs holding EASA Part-145 approval

Gulf maintenance organisations with EASA approval alongside GCAA, GACA, QCAA or CAA-Oman certification, whose certifying staff need EASA Part-147 type training on the types in their scope.

Airlines with mixed fleets

Carriers running A320 family, 737NG, 737 MAX or E-Jet aircraft who train engineers in groups. We build the schedule around your maintenance programme rather than a fixed calendar.

Engineers with or seeking EASA Part-66

Many engineers working in the Gulf already hold an EASA Part-66 licence, or want one. We add the type endorsement training that turns a licence into a licence for the aircraft in your hangar.

Practicalities

How we deliver into the Middle East

One or two hours ahead

Belgrade is one to two hours behind the Gulf, so a live virtual classroom runs comfortably inside both working days. No unsociable hours for anyone.

Training at your facility

Theoretical training can be delivered at your site anywhere in the region. For a group this is normally cheaper and far less disruptive than sending engineers to Europe for six weeks.

Arabic delivery

Courses run in English by default. Arabic delivery can be arranged — tell us at enquiry stage so we can scope it properly rather than improvising on the day.

Direct flights to Belgrade

For training at our Belgrade site, Air Serbia and regional carriers connect Belgrade to Dubai, Doha and other Gulf hubs. We can recommend accommodation near the training centre.

Recognition

What our certificate is, and what it is not

We would rather be straight with you about this than sell you a promise that is not ours to make.

Our certificates are issued under EASA Part-147 approval EASA.147.0140 and are recognised across all EASA member states. Outside the EASA system, whether a Part-147 certificate is accepted towards a national licence is a decision for that country’s aviation authority, not for us or for EASA.

In practice this rarely blocks anything, because most of the organisations we train for need EASA-qualified staff in the first place — but we will not tell you your authority will accept something when that is not ours to promise. What we do provide is the complete documentation set your authority will ask for: the training certificate, the approval schedule, the syllabus, examination records and instructor qualifications. If your authority needs something specific, tell us before the course and we will make sure it is issued correctly.

We also train into

China

Part-147 approved training for Chinese MROs holding EASA approval, for airlines with Western-built fleets, and for engineers building an EASA licence.

Europe

For Part-66 licensed engineers and the European airlines and MROs that employ them — the most direct route from our certificate to your licence endorsement.

We come back within one business day with availability and a quotation, and we will tell you honestly if difference training or general familiarisation would serve you better than a full type course.
