Aviation engineer with a focus on helicopters
The education, which has national admission, lasts two years and corresponds to 420 Yh points.
Place of education: Luleå
Application from: January 2025.
Next course start: August 2025.
Length: 4 semesters (ends June 2027)
The training for flight engineers is both theoretical and practical and is scheduled Monday to Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. A total of 14 courses are included in the training and you take four to five courses in parallel.
The theory and practice split is 50/50, with the theoretical parts being taught in the classroom while the practical parts are done outside in the hangar with access to several aircraft and lots of extra parts. Here you work independently according to manuals and work orders just like in a real aircraft workshop, but always have access to instructors who help and check that the tasks are done correctly. The training also includes an internship at one of the companies we collaborate with.
After two years of study, you are ready to enter the workforce. After another two years in a workplace, you have the opportunity to obtain a certificate as an aviation engineer. You will always have a salary during these two years that you work. Thanks to collaborations with various airlines throughout the country and a wide network of contacts within the industry, we can often help you find a job after your education.
As a student, you have the opportunity to receive student funding through CSN. You can get to school using Luleå local transport, which has special student prices.
