ABOUT ACATECH
Aviation learning

WHO WE ARE
A new chapter
for PNG.
ACATECH Aviation College brings quality aviation education and training to Port Moresby, continuing its journey of providing aviation training and support in Papua New Guinea since 2016.
What began with helping local students pursue aviation studies in the Philippines developed into a growing presence in the country, with the Port Moresby branch opening in 2019 and welcoming its first students in March 2020.
Driven by a commitment to educational excellence, the college aims to deliver quality, competitive training that develops students’ knowledge, practical skills, resilience, and self-confidence. Through meaningful learning experiences and student-centered activities, Acatech Aviation College strives to prepare learners for future opportunities in the aviation industry and the evolving demands of aviation technology.
INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY
From aviation support
to PNG training.
ASSI expanded into the design and production of aircraft instructional training aids. ACATECH Aviation Colleges were envisioned for Baguio City, Nueva Ecija and Cagayan de Oro in the Philippines to bring education closer to the public.
ACATECH began its PNG venture, helping local students study in the Philippines and training future aircraft engineers and instructors in preparation for an aviation school and support company in PNG.
CASA PNG recognized ACATECH Aviation College as an approved Maintenance Training Organization, with MTO Certificate 141/001, offering 36-months training on Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, Diploma in Aviation Electronics Engineering, and Commercial Pilot Training with Instrument Rating.
