The Art Williams & Harry Wendt Aeronautical Engineering School has received significant recognition with the approval of its Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Programme by the National Accreditation Council of Guyana (NAC-G). This milestone is particularly important for graduates of the school’s Ab-Initio Aircraft Engineer’s Programme, providing them with an elevated pathway in their professional journey.
To qualify for the BSc Degree Programme, students must first complete the Ab-Initio Programme, achieving either a Completion Certificate or an Associate Degree. The Ab-Initio Programme itself is designed to meet both national and international standards for obtaining an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s Licence, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for the demands of the aviation industry.
Since its modification in 2019, the Ab-Initio Programme has adhered closely to the guidelines set forth by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA). The curriculum is aligned with ICAO Doc. 7192, Part D, ensuring that it covers all essential training for aircraft engineering. The GCAA’s review and approval of these updates have solidified the school’s commitment to maintaining its ATO 001 Approval status, highlighting its dedication to delivering quality education and training.
This new BSc programme not only enhances the educational offerings at the school but also significantly boosts the employability of its graduates. As the aviation sector continues to grow, the need for qualified aircraft maintenance engineers becomes increasingly critical. The approval of this degree is a testament to the school’s efforts to provide comprehensive and rigorous training that meets the evolving needs of the industry.
With this advancement, the Art Williams & Harry Wendt Aeronautical Engineering School is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of aviation professionals in Guyana and beyond, ensuring that students receive a solid foundation in aircraft maintenance engineering. As graduates emerge with enhanced qualifications, they will be well-equipped to meet the challenges of the aviation sector and contribute to its ongoing development.
