Increase in demand for Aircraft Leasing skills pulls forward Popular Short Course in Aircraft leasing & Project Management to Feb 2016.

In Ireland there has been a lot of media coverage around the growth of the aircraft leasing industry. This, alongside a number of changes in the MRO field, has led to people looking at a possible 'change in direction' of their career. Within the industry people are aware that working in the leasing side of the business is alot more intensive that working with airlines. Irish professionals are also looking to Asia, USA and UAE for relocation opportunities in this area, there is great local contract opportunities that offer significant remuneration packages without having the burden of the expenses felt when moving as a expat. Asia continues to grow with demands for experienced staff in region, still in its infancy with leasing companies fighting for a small pool of experienced staff available to them. They have a bigger pool to choose from by looking to Irish Professionals trained in the Aircraft Leasing Sector.


Investec for example host our graduation ceremony for upcoming programmes.  


In college Ireland we have seen the demand for training in this sector increase substantially. Already our recent courses in Aircraft Leasing & Project Mgt have been full and we have a second round in February and we are now providing second classes to facilitate demand in this area. 
Naturally to complete this programme in four weeks full time or 14 weekends part time, is an asset to a person looking to access or get promoted in this vibrant industry. 

The nature of the Aircraft Leasing business continues to be a 24/7 business, so it is difficult to find a work life balance there. In saying that companies are starting to get better at ensuring they are staffed enough to allow breathing space. It is known in the aviation industry that those working within the aircraft leasing market are highly motivated people, otherwise how would you survive the demands put on you? However this high level motivation makes for a very rewarding Industry. From an employment point of view the industry at present is the most vibrant it has been since the credit crunch. With so much activity and interest in the market at present, people are demanding training courses to be made available in order to tap into these opportunities.
