Spanish Aviation Training Organisation Sabadell Aeroclub Launches Course for Aeromechanical Maintenance of Turbine Engine Aircraft

The general director of Jesuit Education, Esteve Mogas, the mayoress of Sabadell, Marta Farrés and the president of the Aeroclub Barcelona-Sabadell, Pere Joan Nogueroles, have formalized an agreement to jointly develop the Higher Cycle in Aeronautical Maintenance of turbine engine.

The three-year course is offered from Jesuïtes-el Clot and a good part of the subjects and practices will be taught in the facilities of the Barcelona-Sabadell Aeroclub, a space that will allow the students to enjoy facilities first-level professional facilities, and develop their learning in a real environment.

The three institutional representatives have highlighted the strategic bet that this agreement and the start of these studies represent. For the Jesuit Education Foundation, it means going one step further in its mission to offer the highest quality training, starting studies of high strategic value.

The president of the Aeroclub Barcelona-Sabadell, Pere Joan Noguerolas, has commented that this training proposal completes its catalog of services in a very qualitative way: “It was the missing leg. We see how the airlines continued to increase their aircraft fleets and how the offer continues to rise, therefore more maintenance technicians will be needed. With this agreement we cover this demand.”

For her part, the mayor of Sabadell, Marta Farrés, wanted to reaffirm the council’s commitment to make the Sabadell Aeroclub and Airport a benchmark in aeronautical education, emphasizing its proximity to Barcelona and the airport Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat: “we want Sabadell Airport to be recognized throughout the territory and to give it the importance it deserves, in addition to enhancing the opportunities that arise with it.”

To finish the presentation, Esteve Mogas, general director of Jesuit Education, shared the institution’s commitment to professional studies: “Professional training is very important to our foundation. The agreement with the Aeroclub is based on 3 pillars: the vital project of our students, academic development, where excellence and quality are always sought and the professional journey that we will offer with this new cycle.”
