Monarch Aircraft Engineering Training offer their courses globally, aircraft engineering training worldwide. They are computer-based courses subject to audit.

Global Demand for Aircraft Technicians

There is a shortfall of technical workers in Europe as in the United States.

Martin Collins, engineering training manager at Monarch Aircraft Engineering UK, believes it has a lot to do with modern society. "Youngsters today are encouraged to stay in school for much longer now and engineering apprenticeships are not seen as the most attractive careers. We prefer to train people who can work on the shop floor and work under fully qualified engineers," says Martin. The Monarch philosophy is that once trained, mechanics will stay with the company that employs them. This has been Monarch’s own experience. Adult trainees have been trained to fully qualified standard over a two-year period and stayed with the company and are still there today. Monarch Aircraft Engineering is unique in the UK. It was established first as an engineering services provider in 1966 and then created the airline operator Monarch Airlines one year later, now one of the country’s biggest.

"New and more advanced aircraft coming along, such as the A350 and Boeing 787 (of which Monarch Airlines has ordered six) may require less maintenance and ultimately fewer engineers, but in the short term the evidence is that the world will still be using a lot of aircraft which require maintenance in the traditional manner," says Collins.
