TESTIMONIALS FROM TRAINED STUDENTS
Sylvie Grande
« Coming from a trade background, I had no knowledge of aeronautical adjusters. The first 3 months of training allowed me to learn the theoretical as well as practical bases. Going into immersion gave me the opportunity to apply this. When changing career paths, dealing with people who show support and encouragement is important. »
Edouardo S.
« The accompanying and support from the teaching staff allowed me to fully understand my first steps as a trainer. To this day, I am delighted to be part of this enthusiastic and caring team. Hoping to achieve my personal goals by training the new generation to come. »
Alexandre Roubas
« The support offered by the center, from the selections to the final passage of the CQPM, was very satisfactory. The teaching team was able to be present and responsive to gauge my progress throughout the course. This support is important for people who are completely new to aeronautics. »
Sophie B.
« Excellent involvement of the trainers. Theoretical and practical basics: everything I was looking for as part of my career change. The team responsible for training is attentive, no matter the questions asked. They are all there and responsive. »
