BTS Aeronautics

• The aim of the course is to enable students to gain a specialised qualification in the fields of production organisation and maintenance process engineering at aircraft production and maintenance sites.

• Holders of this BTS are able to:
  - contribute to the organisation of production and maintenance to prepare operators’ tasks, whether in production or operations;
  - develop aircraft production or maintenance processes;
  - carry out inspection, testing, diagnostic and fine-tuning activities on aircraft, their systems and equipment, including on the runway and/or during base or line maintenance;
  - independently provide technical support to customers;
  - help develop the maintenance policy for aircraft and equipment;
  - contribute to the monitoring and airworthiness assessment of aircraft;
  - contribute to the continuous improvement of processes within a team.

• Working alone or as part of a team, they may be required to work on an aircraft wherever it is located, particularly in foreign countries, and must therefore adapt to local constraints and regulations. To carry out their role, senior aeronautical technicians must have strong communication skills, be able to work as part of a team, manage priorities, and demonstrate autonomy, responsiveness and initiative.

• An excellent command of English is required: frequent contact with clients, who are often English-speaking; work sometimes carried out abroad; and written documentation generally in English

The course is organised into several skill modules, enabling step-by-step progression. It alternates between theoretical input, practical application and assessment sessions in order to promote practical and progressive learning.

Professional fields:

BC01 – Industrialisation of aircraft production or maintenance

• Analysing a design dossier, a work request or a non-conformity/incident
• Define an assembly or maintenance process
• Assess the performance of a manufacturing or maintenance process
• Design and organise an improvement initiative

BC02 - Organisation of aircraft production or maintenance activities

• Organise the work schedule
• Ensure the commencement and monitoring of work
• Communicate in a professional context (French/English)

BC03 - Inspection, testing, commissioning or recommissioning

• Carrying out an inspection or test
• Diagnosing the causes of non-conformity or an incident
• Ensuring the conformity and traceability of inspections and tests

BC04 - Aircraft airworthiness

• Analysing data
• Drafting documentation
• Ensuring compliance with airworthiness requirements

General subject areas:

Mathematics – Applied Physics – Computer Science – General Knowledge – English – Management

Throughout the programme, learners receive personalised support with regular monitoring by the teaching team and progress reviews to tailor the learning to each individual’s needs.

A work placement also enables students to develop professional skills in a real-world setting.

Skills are assessed progressively through role-plays, practical exercises, professional projects and assessments carried out throughout the course.

Our teaching methodology prioritises a practical, industry-focused approach: case studies, role-plays, practical scenarios and collaborative activities enable learning in conditions that closely resemble the real-world workplace.
