On Friday, the 25th of September 2009, the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) is organising an Open Day to promote its Aircraft Maintenance Training Courses. The session starts at the Aviation Maintenance Training Centre at the MCAST Main Campus in Paola at 9am. All interested persons, especially students, are invited to attend. No one will be allowed entrance without an Identity Card.
The programme starts with a presentation on Aircraft Maintenance Training Courses by the training manager followed by an explanation of the various quality checks on aircraft. At 10am, there will be a tour of the Aviation Maintenance Training Centre facilities.
Following this, the group will depart to Lufthansa Technik Malta where they will be given a tour of the premises. The tour will include an explanation of the different kind of checks aircraft have to undergo during the maintenance period. Visitors will also be informed of the types of job opportunities that will be available in the near future.
The programme continues with a trip to Aeromaritime and Medavia at Safi. Visitors will witness other types of aircraft other than Airbus and Boeings and will also learn about specialised repairs.
This Open Day is being organised in collaboration with all the Maintenance and Repair Overhaul organizations (MRO’s) including Lufthansa Technik Malta, Aeromaritime, Medavia, Air Malta, Mediterranean Aviation Company Ltd and Falcon Aviation Engineering Limited.
For further details about these courses, one may contact the Institute of Mechanical Engineering on 2398 7450 or visit www.mcast.edu.mt.
This initiative is being organised in collaboration with Malta Enterprise.
I think MCAST is a good idea and is suitable for students that do not go to university.
I want to make a point that before the govt promotes MCAST the govt should have the resources for the amount of students that apply for these schools.
My daughter was one of those 600 students that was qualified to get into MCAST but was left out. She was told that the school does not have the resources to make extra classes for the amount of students that applied.
Apparently now at the end of september there is a second call for applications and she is going to apply for a course which is different to the one she originally applied for and STILL NO GARANTEES ARE GIVEN TO HER THAT SHE WILL GET IN.
What is going to happen to her if there is alot of applications again? She just not want to go to to university.
Then the authorities say that not enough students are continuing their education!!!
