We are therefore delighted to have gained in the College a partner recognized industry-wide with which we can offer our expertise and competence at delivering EASA-approved courses in North America,” said Klaus Schmidt-Klyk – vice president marketing, sales & business development at LTT. The College provides qualified instructors with extensive practical experience as well as access to the relevant maintenance documentation and the available training media. Based on this, LTT will develop EASA-approved type training courses and examinations for categories B1, B2, and C, qualify the instructors in accordance with current European requirements and arrange for the courses to be recognized under LTT’s existing EASA Part 147 license. The courses and examinations offered will comply with the current requirements of EASA and also with LTT quality standards and will be given at various sites in North America. “Our philosophy is simple: in order for us to remain winners in this increasingly competitive industry, we all need to train, train and still train some more! It is this firm belief that propels us to constantly add or refine courses to best meet our Students’ needs,” said Andrew Kozak, manager College of Technical Operations JetBlue University.
