Helios Group GmbH - EASA Approved Trainings

EASA Approved Courses

HELIOS ACADEMY offers courses for the training of aeronautical engineers in accordance with EASA Regulation (EU) No. 1321/2014 Part 66. To obtain the corresponding certificate, participants must attend the theoretical classes in all selected modules and pass an exam with at least 75% grade.
To obtain the Part 66 license, which is issued by the German Federal Aviation Office (LBA) or the relevant European authority of the country of origin of the student, the application must include not only a certificate for the theoretical part but also practical experience in the specified subject areas. If all requirements are met, the student becomes the holder of a Part 66 license. This AML (Aircraft Maintenance License) entitles the student to independently certify the release to service of aircraft types for which the experience has been demonstrated.
The market demand for these "examiners" is currently very high, and the career prospects are correspondingly good.

CAT A1/A2

The CAT A1/A2 theoretical training courses are the European version of the German (IHK) aircraft mechanic training program. The career target is all types of aviation operations, such as production or maintenance. They take approximately 55 days of training, depending on the chosen specialization: CAT A1 for gas turbines and CAT A2 for piston engines/propellers. Depending on the level of previous education and the desired goal, the course is taught in up to 17 modules. After passing the exam and recognition of the practical experience gained by the LBA, the corresponding license (AML) is issued.

CAT B1/2

The CAT B1/B2 training requires approximately 60 days. Generally, the mathematics and physics modules are recognized based on previous education. The modules electric/electronic fundamentals, digital techniques, materials, maintenance techniques, aerodynamics, aviation legislation, human factors, aircraft systems, gas turbines (B1.1) or piston engines and Propellers (B1.2) must be taken. Those who prioritize avionics (B2) will receive customized courses with more in-depth training in electronic modules such as aircraft avionics systems. With the B1/2 training and the associated certificate from HELIOS, you can apply for the coveted Part 66 license from the LBA after your practical experience has been recognized. The practical experience can be acquired at HELIOS or completed and documented through on-the-job training.

We offer our courses with experienced instructors from the aviation industry field. The modules are taught full-time. We are currently working on a digital learning system that offers selected modules for self-study, which can reduce the time required to attend on-site.
