Do you want to be an Aviation Maintenance Technician?

If you want to acces the only school of Aviation Maintenance Technician (TMA) in Mallorca you only need to be over 18 years old or at least turn 18 during the first year of the course and choose one of these three methods:

- Baccalaureate diploma for seventy percent of places available.
- An intermediate level of a vocacional course for twenty percent of places available.
- Or pass a specific entrance exam for the ten percent of places available.

You need to be interested in a practic course which offers you possibilities of working straight away; the right attitude is a requirement, you have to want to learn a lot of material and be able to work in team for the practices.

A good scientific background of Maths and Physucs help as well for the course, technology too. But English is more important yet because all the manuals are in English.
