    GOOD, I GRADUATED FROM ESPE WITH THE DEGREE IN ELECTRONICS AND A MAJOR IN AVIONICS. CAN I APPLY TO OBTAIN THE LICENSE OR SHOULD I TAKE AN ADDITIONAL COURSE AT THE SAME INSTITUTION?
    THANK YOU

  2. Best regards, my question is if you already have 2 Technologies one in automotive mechanics and another in automotive electromechanics to be able to apply !?

  3. Nicholas Larenas hello, I have the title of aeronautical technician but I am a foreigner , My title is issued from an aviation military school, No problem , I have level 5 in maintenance and crew of the y8f200w and hercules c-130hv systems .
    I have experience from 2011 al 2018 as an aeronautical technician.
    How can I choose or apply for a job I am located in Quito 0995224093 and I have residence

  4. Buenas tardes, I had heard a question many times that as an aeronautical mechanic in Ecuador you can apply to the army with that title to work as a specialist, that is correct. ?

  5. Daniel Rodrigo Fuentes

    Dear Nicolás, I am a maintenance technician., I am Ecuadorian and I have relatives in Italy I want to travel there and try to validate my license, maybe you know where I can find information about the requirements for that.
    Thanks a lot, Cheers

  6. Hello Nicholas Larenas, I saw this blog of an airplane mechanic guide. I am about to finish my degree in Automotive Mechanics but once I saw a video about aircraft mechanics and I loved it in the same way and I would like to know if I can take courses with my degree to get a license in aviation and thus work in this beautiful industry. Greetings from Quito and a lot of strength and health for you and your family

  7. hello, I am a bit lost, with this of the applications I saw the career of aeronautical mechanics, this merges with the FAE or I can take it as a civilian ? On the other hand, this is my second degree. I would study technology. How easy is it to get a job as soon as I graduate that allows me to live well and not with a salary of 300 400 Dollars ?

  8. How about Nicolas and you? Would you recommend continuing your studies and pursuing aeronautical engineering, since the University of the Armed Forces ESPE has an agreement in Ukraine at the University of Kiv, which the technologist can compete with in subjects and get your engineering? You would personally recommend studying an ing to come and play it in Ecuador

      1. So if following aeronautical engineering would not be so favorable here in Ecuador, you as a professional would recommend that you still graduated from the university with a degree in aeronautical mechanics, some favorable specialization that you know, it would be great if you talked about aeronautical engineering in Ecuador at some point. delivery blessings very good your website

  9. Greetings, you can be an aeronautical mechanic and work on your own, without having a direct relationship with the company that hired me?

  10. To access the quota in the espe apart from being approved by the senescyt, it is necessary to be military personnel or something similar ?
    Thanks in advance.

  11. Good day, I would like to know how to homologate or validate the aircraft maintenance license. I am TMA in the fuselage, but I have 10 years of experience in avionics ,instrumentation,I am in Ecuador I am already processing the visa who can help me with information I would like to exercise

  12. Good evening, I was confused by a question in the last part that says that it must be approved with the Senecyt test.
    o lic lic costara 500$
    then it would cost me 500$ if I don't take the senecyt test so that the course is free ?

      1. In response to this conversation, that is, only the Senecyt exam is given; It is obviously approved and the interested party can automatically pay for the license and the preparation that it costs $500 Or do you have to follow the 6 semesters at ITSA and then apply for license ?

  13. Good being a mechanic with experience of 17 years in overhaul of piston engines being from another country and I want to open a workshop in Ecuador doing the exam I will be granted permission to work

  14. If you are a mechanic with 2 decades of experience in military aviation. How do you do to enable yourself in Airbus, Boeing o Embraer, if the training is only given to their employees? Here the big question…How do you ask for a job IF only your experience briefcase accompanies you??

  15. Grateful Nicolas Larenas and Mao. consider. Tomorrow I will be in contact with you, for the moment I am without a phone.

  16. I am an engineer, aeronautical technician and instructor with 26 years old and 10 years of experience in the aeronautical field with a license in: TMA II fuselage WITH ENABLING in jet engines and TMA I avionics. And I am from a beautiful country plunged into a Political-Social-Health-Economic disaster! Venezuela. In short, I would just like to be guided to work in Ecuador in this beautifully demanding field..
