Course Content

Avionics/Electrical Tradesmen are used to working with wiring diagrams which is one of the key design outputs. Additionally you will be competent with test activities and used to validating modification work.

The course run at Marshall Aerospace in Cambridge, will broaden your system appreciation to include the equipment required to meet current communication and navigation requirements. You will be shown how to develop and produce a costed technical proposal and most importantly gain the experience necessary to take such a proposal through all the design steps necessary to create a fully certified installation. Candidates are given close guidance and help on the methods to be used to achieve a successful outcome.

Key Candidates

Course suited to any Avionic/Electrical based air or ground trades.

A Major part of the program will be devoted to Candidates undertaking systems design and bidding of a typical system in groups with the help of staff.

Projects build on each other and are associated with work being carried out in the main office. This means that the work undertaken is real and relevant as designs developed during the course are used to meet real customer requirements providing a real sense of achievement to all taking part.

Project Output will be presentation based as this reflects a working environment and provides a realistic alternative to formal testing.

COURSE WILL BE INTENSIVE AND SO ONLY SERIOUS CANDIDATES SHOULD ATTEND!

This course is intended to fill a gap in the employment market and will run over a four week period, with theoretical instruction feeding real world practical exercises. As the course takes place inside a working company, the course will include evening work to allow access to the CAD machines. This means industry standard applications (AutoCAD) can be used. Optional Saturday morning sessions will available for anyone wanting additional coaching or practice.

Instructors

Course instructors are experienced designers with much experience in practical applications and instruction.

Employment Expectations

Employment opportunities are key to any resettlement decisions and, in recognition of this, Marshall will recruit directly from the courses. Additionally, Eagle Engineering Services Ltd will provide resettlement guidance and help to place other candidates who attend the course at no additional cost. 

Course Feedback

The Avionics Design Courses are finishing with candidates receiving, and accepting, offers of employment. We did advise that the course would be intensive, a warning endorsed by the attendees who were fully stretched to complete the Design Projects, the backbone of the course, which enabled them to show off the Avionics and Computer Aided Design Skills they had learnt over the preceding weeks.

Despite the hard work, with some attendees literally “burning the midnight oil” to ensure they got full value from the course all seemed to enjoy it. Quotes included:

“Fantastic course, was very hard work but that is what I expected. Option for weekend work was a great help”.

“I found the course to be intensive, focused and very educational”

“Excellent course. Valuable experience and challenging”

“Brilliant”

“Presentations were excellent and covered good level of material. Explained the information very clearly and help always on hand when needed”

The attendees are now providing much needed support to programmes including test procedures for on the recovery of two C130s for the Netherlands Air Force, Systems Engineering on an Avionics upgrade to a Military Transport Aircraft and working with test rigs to verify an integrated avionics system.
