22 students to graduate from Guyana’s Aeronautical Engineering School this week 

Twenty-two students will graduate this Friday from the Art Williams and Harry Wendt Aeronautical Engineering School (AW&HWAES), Guyana’s only aircraft maintenance training organisation.
The graduating students have completed all requirements for their Associate Degrees in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and for applications to the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s Licence. This year’s ceremony will also recognise the first and second batches of students enrolled in the school’s BSc degree in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, who will receive prizes for their achievements.

Lt Col (Ret’d) Egbert Field, Director General of the GCAA, will deliver the feature address and present the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s Awards.
Located at the Eugene F Correia International Airport, Ogle, East Coast Demerara, AW&HWAES celebrates its 32nd year in operation. The school is registered with the Guyana National Accreditation Council (NAC-G) and was the first training organisation in Guyana to receive institutional accreditation.
AW&HWAES offers an Ab-Initio Training Programme leading to a Level Six Associate Degree, qualifying graduates to apply for an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s Licence with the GCAA, and a BSc Degree in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, also approved by the NAC-G. The school is recognised as an Aviation Training Organisation (ATO) by the GCAA, the Caribbean Aviation Safety and Security Oversight System (CASSOS), the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA), and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Suriname (CASAS).
The institution is also a full member of the Flight Safety Foundation (USA) and the International Federation of Airworthiness (UK). The 26th Graduation & Prize Giving Ceremony will be held at 13:00h at the National Cultural Center, Homestretch Avenue, Georgetown.
