Which is the best course to pursue in aviation sector?

The best course to pursue in the aviation sector depends upon the choice of the student. There are three unique courses in aviation known as Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering as compared to the other traditional engineering. Aviation sector having a great placement as the aviation is growing worldwide.

Let us have a look towards the courses, their job profiles, salary and job opportunities:

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering course is related to the maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting the problems in Aircraft. The well-being and protection of aircraft and its passengers are in hands of skilled AME. AME has to check the airworthy condition before flight take off.

AME Career Opportunities

• There is already a shortage of AME in the World. There is a requirement of 7,54,000 licensed AME worldwide as the license is valid worldwide, so AME from any Institutes can do a job in India and Abroad.
