Proposal for apprentice

training in
South Africa

A cut above the rest, ‘cause we train you best

 Why invest in ITC?
ITC was founded in 2007. We have provided training for
major airlines in Africa such as TAAG Angolan Airlines, LAM,
LAM startech, Zambesi Airlines, Global Aviation and
Aeroservice Togo . We are SACAA, TETA and INAVIC approved.
Our instructors experience is the main reason for our success
and popularity. Combined, we have more than 450 years
aviation experience under the belt. 250 of these years were
spent in training.
The instructors are approved on the following aircrafts:
Airbus 319,20,21,
Airbus A330, 340
Boeing 707, 727, 737, 747, 767, 777
DC9 / MD80
DC3
DC4
And all relevant power plants

This makes us capable in most of the fascists in the Aviation

industry.

Phase 2:
The students who have successfully completed Phase 1, will
advance to Phase 2 where they will spend approximately 18
months at Aircraft Maintenance Organisations. Here they
will enhance their practical skills and knowledge. ITC will
arrange this practical to be done at Global Aircraft
Maintenance, Springbok Flying Services and Jetworx.

Before entering the practical environment, we will present

and Induction course on the SACAA regulations, as well as
the company’s rules and regulations. They will also undergo
a theoretical general familiarization course on one of the
types of aircraft they will be working on.
During this practical period the student will have to keep a
log book indicating all the tasks that he has successfully
completed. This will also force him to work on all the
systems of the aircraft and ITC will conducting frequent
evaluations on the students.
Phase 3: Final competency test
The students will have to complete a 2 week trade
revision course where all their knowledge will be
enhanced to ensure that they are prepared for the
trade test. The duration of this test is 2 days. If
found to be competent at the end of this test, the
student will qualify as a Aircraft Technician, without
a type rating.

Qualified technician
The student must complete at least 2 years of
experience on a specific type of aircraft and
successfully completed a maintenance course to
apply for a license on that aircraft.
