About Bostonair Technical Training

Bostonair Technical Training Ltd - "BTTL" - was formed by Staffsecure Ltd and Bostonair Ltd, in January 2008, as a joint venture.

The Company is based in its training centre on the 10th floor of Tower House in central Bristol.

Courses are run in the training centre and in clients' premises in UK and Europe.

The company is in the process of obtaining approval under EASA Part 147.

Key Personnel

The Managing Director is Jon Cousens, with many years of experience in the aviation industry in airlines, airports and engineering organisations in the Middle East and UK. He is also Chairman of FASS, the Federation of Aerospace Support Services, which comprises recruitment agencies specialising in the aircraft maintenance industry.

The Training Director is Keith Stansfield, who has joined the company from the role of Senior Instructor, Curriculum Manager and Quality Manager at the City of Bristol College Centre for Aeronautical Engineering. He holds a current EASA B1 licence, and has in-depth knowledge and experience of aircraft maintenance, and of maintenance management.

The Quality Manager is Jim Gibbons, until recently Head of Engineering with KLM UK, and now Chairman of the UKOTG as well as working as a consultant on aircraft maintenance engineering, safety management and associated disciplines.

Staffsecure Ltd

Staffsecure Ltd has been providing Maintenance Human Factors courses since 2005, together with other courses focussed on Maintenance Error Management, MEDA investigations and interviewing skills, and Management Skills especially at Middle Manager, Supervisor and Team Leader level, in  a EASA Part 145 MRO environment. All this work has been transferred to BTTL.

Much of Staffsecure Ltd's focus has been on supplying the training that contractors need to ensure that thay can always find work at top rates.Not only to supply it; to supply it in a way and at a cost that suits the way that contractors work.

Staffsecure Ltd has also provided HF, MEMS, MEDA and Supervisory training to smaller Part 145-approved MROs, tailored to the specific needs of the client. This has appealed to small workshops and component repair organisations, for whom a generic "One Size Fits All" approach is a waste of time and money.

Bostonair Ltd

Bostonair Ltd is a highly successful aviation recruitment organisation, supplying licensed and non-licensed maintenance staff to Maintenance Organisations throughout Europe, who are normally working under EASA Part 145 approval.

Bostonair Ltd specialises in recruiting and supplying temporary workers - contractors - to these organisations. The need for top-class training for contractors has become increasingly evident, so that clients can be confiednt that not only do they hold the right qualifications, but that they has been obtained at the highest available standards.

Course Delivery

BTTL combines arranging courses in partnership with specialist training companies with delivery of courses by its own instructor team in its own facilities. This approach ensures that all the training it provides is the best available.
