Do you plan to study any career related to aviation other than pilot?? Let's talk about ETAC – Technical School of Civil Aviation of Ecuador.

These courses seem to be intended only for people who work in airports, not for civilians who aspire to work in airports. I would like to participate in various land jobs., especially in security matters, but… there are no possibilities. I can't find them, not to mention the cost issue.. Everything is selective secrecy and more like a closed competition. I find more courses abroad than in Ecuador and to make matters worse if they are offered, It's scary that the investment will be in vain when the only courses they endorse are those from Etac. I hope I am wrong and at the same time suggestions. Thanks.
Hello Tatiana, well yes it is as you mention it, Accessing these courses is quite complex and as you say, most are for aeronautical personnel already working in airlines. More options are needed to become professional in aviation in our country.
Better to study in Lima Peru, there are more schools and opportunities for aircraft dispatch
and more modest values.
It's good that there are more options.
Good afternoon, sorry, the aeronautical technician career is given to you.?
Hello Maria, I recommend you contact the ETAC or DGAC for more information about their courses.
Good evening, how can I make an individual request to take the airport agent course, please?
Hi Sara, You should talk directly to the ETAC which is located in the north of Quito.
Good evening, information and cost of the course for TOV Guayaquil, please
Hi Eduardo, I recommend you consult directly with the ETAC or the DGAC.
Buenas tardes
How can I be a teacher at the Civil Aviation Technical School?
You should consult ETAC directly if they are looking for teachers.
In reality, it is a shame that Ecuador does not have more options, such as Peru, in Lima there are some courses to be an aircraft dispatcher where the prices are really affordable. It would be a question of migrating to study elsewhere when it should not be that way. .
Greetings
How much does it cost in Peru and here in Ecuador?
Buenas tardes
Could you help me with more information to be able to enter the cabin crew courses?, like dates, costs, etc
Thank you so much
Dear Sirs
Wishing you the best success and congratulations on your achievements., I took the opportunity to find out when a call for security agents would open and the cost..
