The Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority (CCAA) has issued Certificate of Competence in Aircraft Maintenance and Recycling (CAMRA 2024) to the first batch of 14 students who have completed their training.
The training, which lasted for 10 months, from November 14, 2022, was with the support of Caverton Offshore Support Group (COSG), and was jointly conducted by the CCAA Training School with the National Advanced School of Engineering, Cameroon, Yaoundé.
The CAMRA Training, which is the result of the partnership between the University of Yaounde and the CCAA is designed to meet industry and authorities demand for Aviation Managers responsible for Aircraft Maintenance, Continuing Airworthiness management and aircraft recycling in compliance with Safety and Environmental protection standards.
During the training, four of the trainees had their three months Internship in Caverton Helicopters Ikeja, Lagos and two in Caverton Aviation Cameroon, Douala. Two of the trainees who were sponsored by Caverton Helicopters will be given employment.
Present at the graduation ceremony on Wednesday, were Cameroon’s minister of Transport Jean Ernest Ngalle Nobehe, director general CCAA, Assoumou Koki and other top dignitaries in the Aviation sector of Cameroon as well as the private sector.
Representing COSG was the group CEO, Olabode Makanjuola alongside the group chief operating officer, Rotimi Makanjuola and other top management staff.
The highlight of the occasion was issuing of Certificates to the graduating students.
Caverton through its exploits in aviation over the years has constantly placed Nigeria on the global map as the largest indigenous aviation industry in Nigeria and West Africa.
Recently, Caverton acquired a new helicopter, Bell 429 for its offshore operations in Cameroon, which was the first helicopter type to operate in the West African oil and gas market.
And its support in training Africans under its wings no doubt is adding value to the economy and human capacity building on the continent.
