Developing Vocational Skills of Electro-Mechanical Technicians for UAV Maintenance and Repair

The aim of UAVET is to support the training of maintenance, repair and technical service personnel who will work in drone technical services or after-sales services. Accordingly, UAVET aims to increase the quality of Vocational Education by contributing to setting occupational standards for drone repair and maintenance technician jobs and to provide vocational training to 95 young people within the vocational education schools or who graduated from vocational high schools.

Workshops will be organised for data collection besides the joint studies of partners, individual literature reviews and content development and personal interactions with industry representatives during the work package preparation processes. The project results developed by the UAVET partnership will be tested through piloting in each partner country. 95 VET students will receive training through the blended learning approach. Project results will be shared through local conferences.

Concrete Project Results ● VET training program with a modular structure, covering the most common problems in electrical and mechanical systems, the software of UAVs ● Occupational Standards Guidebook, identifying which qualifications are required for drone repair and maintenance technicians ● Video library, including videos that show how to repair drones' different parts ● Digital handbook, giving information about UAVs, their parts and their repair and maintenance
