AEROVET is a European comparative project funded under the Leonardo programme, which looks at how aircraft maintenance technician training is carried out in France, Germany, Spain and the UK and the scope for trainees to take some modules in another country and receive appropriate credit (and whether in future this could be facilitated under the auspices of ECVET).

This website is for information about and discussions on issues of relevance to AEROVET. It does, however, also contain details of the previous AERONET project, a pilot project also funded under the European Leonardo programme, as this helps explain the background to the current project.

If you would like to know more about particular aspects of the AEROVET project please read project description below or see individual background documents for further details relevant to the project. 

AEROVET looks at how aircraft maintenance technician training is carried out in France, Germany, Spain and the UK and the scope for trainees to take some modules in another country and receive appropriate credit (and whether in future this could be facilitated under the auspices of ECVET). These four countries were involved in the previous AERONET project which involved the development of holistic Typical Professional Tasks (TPTs) for use in initial training in Airbus. The idea was that mastery of the TPTs would give a basis of developing expertise (and be a more reliable indicator than achievement of learning outcomes, because of the level of aggregation of the tasks), but it is possible to move from TPTs to LOs in order to construct modules, assign credit etc. and then to see how well these align with the requirements of ECVET.
