You now have the rare opportunity to acquire the relevant skills and knowledge that will prepare you to begin a career in the aviation industry. Please, grab it with both hands and make yourself worthy ambassadors of this programme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trainees expressed gratitude to the Administrator and the Federal Government for the opportunity, saying they would take their training seriously and also be of good conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September and November 2023, the PAP Office sent 40 trainees (20 in each month) for aircraft maintenance engineering at Leadstream Aviation Training, Lagos, who finished their programme and are currently undergoing on-the-job training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PAP Office had also in November 2023 deployed two batches of six cadet pilot trainees each to SIM Aerotraining Ltd and ALT Academy, also in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January this year, the PAP Office also sent eight cadet pilot trainees for type-rating training at SIM Aerotraining Ltd on ERJ-145 and another six to ALT Academy on Boeing 737 aeroplane, while two trainees were also sent for helicopter instrument-rating and type-rating training, respectively, at Henley Airfreight Training Ltd, also in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: New Telegram<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coastal News The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) under Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, has deployed four&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2382,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[487,13],"tags":[489,488],"class_list":["post-2383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-amnesty-programme","category-news","tag-dr-otuaros-led-amnesty-programme-sends-beneficiaries-to-south-africa-for-aviation-training","tag-just-in-few-months-after-assuming-office"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/img_2855-1.jpg?fit=720%2C478&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2627,"url":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/index.php\/2024\/07\/06\/pap-otuaro-congratulates-four-4-amnesty-beneficiaries-for-successfully-completing-their-aviation-training-in-johannesburg-south-africa\/","url_meta":{"origin":2383,"position":0},"title":"PAP: Otuaro Congratulates Four (4) Amnesty Beneficiaries For Successfully Completing Their Aviation Training In Johannesburg, South Africa","author":"Freeborn Abraye","date":"July 6, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"By Freeborn Abraye The Administrator of the presidential amnesty programme, High Chief Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, has congratulated four (4) beneficiaries of the Amnesty programme, who have successful completed their aviation training in Johannesburg, South Africa.
