A higher priority will be given to practicals done at KDU and SLAC. More specifically the students will get the rare opportunity of familiarizing themselves with the real aircraft flight line operations, under professionally guided supervision. The modules are carefully balanced to cater to the required amounts of theoretical and practical knowledge. The full-time students will spend two and a half years of EASA training at SLAC and balance one and a half years at KDU. Six months of comprehensive on-the-job training (OJT) will be provided with special maintenance level certifications by the SLAC. The amount of practical exposure gained at the SLAC will enable them to be more effective and efficient engineering practitioners in the future. Also, the academic qualifications would expand their horizons for further studies and carrier progression in the field of aviation.
 

With practical experience and exposure, the graduands will become a sought-after candidate among the others. They will not only work locally as a majority of the opportunities will be available abroad. By the end of the course, they will be a real value addition to any airline or operator. With only two years of EASA accredited maintenance experience, they will be qualified to apply for your EASA accredited aircraft maintenance license. The same can be further validated by acquiring various types of ratings. 
 

This tailor-made course has been designed, developed, and conducted by a unique panel of academics at KDU, professionals at SLAC, and with valuable contributions of the aviation industry experts. The resource panel of the degree program comprises a wide array ranging from Ph.D. qualified university academics to EASA certified maintenance engineer with a vast amount of experience. The undergraduates will be taught by top-level university academia, industry experts, and specialized aircraft maintenance engineers.
