Qatar Aeronautical College (QAC) was formed in 1993 from the former ICAO Civil Aviation College which had been operating in Doha since 1977. The initial programmes were Pilot, Air Traffic Control and Aviation Electronics Training. These training programmes were, and still are, supported by an English Language Training Department.
In 1997 Aircraft Maintenance Training commenced with a curriculum designed to meet the requirements of QCAR Part-66 and QCAR Part-147. Fifteen groups of students (to end of March 2010) have graduated from this programme with a QCAR 147 Certificate of Recognition and a QAC Higher Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance.
These graduates have been employed by, not only Qatar Airways but also the oil and utilities industries where they have been welcomed on account of the practical skills, as well as academic knowledge, developed during their training at QAC.

QAC has recently been approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency, so future aircraft maintenance graduates will obtain an internationally recognised qualification.
QAC is an Examination centre for EASA and QCAA Part 66 examinations and as such accepts applications for examination from all, not just enrolled students.
Staring in September 2010 a new course in Ground Avionics will be offered.
Although the programmes offered are designed to meet civil aviation aircraft maintenance standards, the skills and knowledge acquired are equally valuable in the field of military aircraft maintenance.
Traditionally, many Gulf States Armed Forces personnel have been trained to civil license standards, primarily in the UK or the USA. Such standards are now available in Qatar.

In view of the responsibilities of aircraft maintenance engineers the highest standards of behaviour are expected from QAC students.

Punctuality, attendance, respect for others and property and a dedication to hard work and quality are hallmarks of the programmes. No student will succeed unless he or she meets the required standards of behaviour as well as the academic standards and practical skills required under QCAR Part-66 and QCAR Part-147.
