“We view partnership with Vilnius Gediminas Technical University as a strategic move to offer students basic examination knowledge lectures and examinations and type rating trainings, that will help them to enter professional aerospace carriers as a mechanic or engineer. For VGTU it means it will be able to deliver highly trained professionals to fast growing aviation market“, said Robert Grochowski, CEO of ALL4JETS.
Head of Asava.aero, graduate of AGAI Vincas Šnirpūnas, who is also the initiator and coordinator of this three party co-operation emphasizes that most importantly the students will receive the Certificate of Recognition based on the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part-147 requirements.
By the opinion of V. Šnirpūnas approval EASA Part-147 Examination Class at Antanas Gustaitis Aviation Institute is a step towards aeronautical students and the actual exam process under one roof - creating a more efficient environment to obtain an EASA Part-66 license. “From 2019 March EASA Part-147 examinations are conducted twice a month at AGAI. The next stage of cooperation could be the inclusion of the Part-147 core curriculum in the university curriculum in order to adopt the modules themselves and to reduce the period of supervision experience required to obtain a license (from 5 years to 2 years)“, future plans were shared by V. Šnirpūnas.
Dean of AGAI dr. Justas Nugaras agrees that this partnership is very valuable. He states that the graduates of AGAI are already distinguished by their outstanding aviation competence, proficiency in languages and robust analytical thinking - the qualities needed for certified aviation staff. This agreement will help students in AGAI systematically, faster and more consistently reach higher education qualifications and licenses.
