Building Africa’s aircraft maintenance workforce.
AERRO PATH finances EASA-approved aircraft maintenance training in Africa and connects graduates with airlines and MROs that are hiring. Once employed, graduates repay into the fund so the next cohort can be trained.
Africa's aviation industry is growing. More aircraft are entering service every year,
and the industry will need more people who can maintain these aircraft.
Unfortunately becoming a qualified aircraft maintenance technician costs a lot of money.
For many young people across the continent, the cost of getting through the pathway is the main barrier.
AERRO PATH is building a way to remove that barrier by financing the training
and connecting qualified graduates with the airlines and MROs that need them.
Our model starts with understanding exactly what employers will need.
So right now, we are mapping demand with airlines and MROs across Africa.
This information will determine how we build our cohorts, and when we start.
What will your maintenance workforce need?
If you’re planning your maintenance workforce, we’d like to understand what you expect to need — the roles, aircraft types and timing.
Questions, Answered.
Who can apply to AERRO PATH?
AERRO PATH is built to support African operations. Our pilot countries are Cameroon and Nigeria. As we are mapping demand, student applications are not open yet. We will share more about who can apply when the first cohort is ready.
Where will the training take place?
Training will take place through partner training organisations that meet the requirements. We will announce everything when we launch the pilot cohort.
What does AERRO PATH pay for?
The plan is to finance the costs of the aircraft maintenance training pathway, including the required type-rating and OJT.
Do I have to repay the cost of my training?
The AERRO PATH model is designed so that graduates repay a share of their salary once they are working. The exact terms will be defined as we develop the programme.
Will I get a job after completing the programme?
We build each cohort around real employer demand and work with employers before students graduate. Our placement team helps connect graduates with the employers who need their skills.
