UK-based training provider Resource Group has been approved by the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to conduct basic aviation maintenance training and knowledge examinations under CAR 147. The company, which holds EASA Part 66 approval, provides basic courses for new entrants to the aviation maintenance field, in addition to modular courses for trained engineers. This latest certification allows it to deliver coursework for CAR 66 Cat A, B1, and B2 licenses for both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft.
“We have a declared commitment to expand our portfolio of training and related services into new regions, and the investment we have made to achieve GCAA approval is a clear statement of intent to pursue this ambition,” stated Ian Fitzpatrick, the company’s managing director. “I am delighted to add the training business capability to our regional offering. Over the coming months we will be engaging with interested parties to discuss how we can firmly establish ourselves as a key contributor to skills development in the region.”
