Aviacol

Aviacol is a school for civil aviation in Colombia. It is based in Bucaramanga. The school trains people for jobs in airlines and aviation companies. Its site is written in Spanish, and it shows an open enrollment window for new students.

The school teaches four career paths. The first is commercial airplane pilot, called PCA. These pilots can work for national or international airlines, carry cargo or passengers, and fly for private or state employers. The second is cabin crew, called TCP. Cabin crew members share the job of receiving, seating and caring for passengers on a trip.

The third path is aircraft dispatcher, called DPA. The site says this work needs skills such as organization, close attention to detail, knowledge of the aviation sector and clear communication. The fourth is airplane line technician, called TLA. These technicians work in aircraft workshops, commercial airlines, regional companies and state or private firms.

The site explains the steps to join. Applicants download and fill in an enrollment form. Then they take a written test and a personal interview. The site says Aerocivil, the Colombian aviation authority, requires this step for aeronautical programs. Applicants must also see a certified doctor for a general check and special medical tests. The school suggests doing these in Bogota, ideally on an empty stomach.

Former students share their stories on the website. One works as a first officer on an Airbus A320 for LATAM. Another flies as a first officer for Viva Air. A third is a first officer on an Avianca A320. Cabin crew graduates say they work on a Boeing 737 for GCA Airlines, on an Airbus A320 and for Emirates. They praise the instructors, the hands-on practice and the family feeling at the school.

The contact page lists an office in Bucaramanga and a form for messages. It says the school will reply as soon as it can.

The website gives the full details of each program, the enrollment dates and the data protection policy.
