Name

Before its official establishment, it was called the Aero Club (in Persian: باشگاه خلبانی). In the early years of its establishment, that is, from the 1940s, was a special school dedicated to the entire Civil Aviation, and after the revolution, it was also known with the same name.

Courses

Electrical Engineering, Specialty of Aviation Telecommunications

This course is also called Aviation-Telecommunications Engineering. Aviation-telecommunication engineers include a group of specialists who have a lot of information about the flight (such as meteorological data, some specific information, etc.) through the available platforms (such as AFTN, etc.) at the disposal of the aircraft itself or parts Others are stationed at airports. Specialists in this field mainly need knowledge of computer, networking, IT and physics. Their works are in organizations and companies in the air and space.

Aircraft maintenance engineering

An aircraft maintenance engineer or licensed aircraft maintenance engineer, is a licensed person who carries out and certifies aircraft maintenance. The license is widespread internationally and is recognised by the International Civil Aviation Organization. Aircraft maintenance course includes theoretical and practical courses in the field of familiarity with different parts of the aircraft, including fuselage and engine, parts, how to operate and description of their duties, how to maintain and maintain in optimal and usable conditions, safe methods and safety principles Work environment, familiarity with the equipment and tools used in the work environment and the correct way to work with them, general familiarity with the mechanism of different parts and parts of the aircraft, practical work in various training workshops in the field of jet and piston engines and many other cases.

Short courses

Turbine Aircraft Maintenance Technician Course

The graduates of this course will be introduced to the flight standard office of the Civil Aviation Organization while obtaining the certificate of passing the course. Holders of this certificate must refer to one of the airlines to gain 2 years of work experience and after passing this period and obtaining the performance approval from that airline, they will be introduced to the Civil Aviation Organization to receive their main certificate. Holders of this certificate, according to the Civil Aviation Organization, are authorized to issue safety certificates for aircraft and its components (in engine and fuselage parts - mechanical equipment) for flight.

Holders of relevant academic degrees such as: Mechanics and Aerospace can apply for a B1-1 Certificate by choosing an adaptive course with a shorter course duration.

Avionic Maintenance Technician Course

Graduates of this course will be introduced to the flight standard office of the Civil Aviation Organization while obtaining the certificate of passing the course, and after confirming the transcripts sent by the faculty, they will succeed in obtaining a temporary B2 type certificate, which means passing the organization's written exams. Holders of this certificate must refer to one of the airlines to gain 2 years of work experience and after passing this period and obtaining the performance approval from that airline, they will be introduced to the Civil Aviation Organization to receive their main certificate. Holders of this certificate are authorized by the Civil Aviation Authority to issue safety certificates for aircraft and its components (in the electrical and electronic parts of aircraft) for flight.

Holders of relevant academic degrees such as: various majors in electrical engineering can apply for a B2 certification by choosing a comparative course with a shorter course duration.

Airplane Ticketing

This training course is in both introductory and advanced levels. Each course is held for two weeks.
