PATTS College of Aeronautics, also known as Philippine Air Transport and Training Services, is an aeronautical school at Lombos Ave., Brgy. San Isidro, Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines. It was founded by Atty. Ambrosio R. Valdez Sr.
History[]
PATTS College of Aeronautics was founded in 1969 as the Philippine Air Transport and Training Services. The unfavorable investment climate at the time constrained the founders to drop the first objective and only organize and operate an educational institution, intended to provide professional and technical training to its clients. The school started with two-year airframe mechanic and two-year power plant mechanic courses. In its second year of operation, the two-year communication technician course (avionics) and the four-year aeronautical engineering course were added.
Under the stewardship of its board of directors, the school rose to higher levels of credit and educational standards. Its BS Aeronautical Engineering graduates regularly topped the PRC’s Licensure Board Examination for Aeronautical Engineers from its inception in 1983. In 1989, the school became an accredited college. PATS School of Aeronautics grew into a larger educational institution known as PATTS College of Aeronautics, adapting the slogan “Fly high, your future is in the skies”.
In 2005, the school's greatest transformation coincided with PATTS' 36th anniversary. PATTS was relocated from its old site at Domestic Airport Road, Pasay to its new home at Lombos Avenue, San Isidro, Parañaque. Educational success encouraged the Board of Directors to be more forward-thinking in their management of the school. Following the 36th Anniversary, management announced a new diversification. PATTS would offer non-aviation related programs responsive to industry needs, starting with B.S. Hotel and Restaurant Management as of the 2005–2006 school year. Feasibility studies are being conducted to determine what other curricular offerings are viable. Graduate Studies is also a possibility, leading to university status.
Academic program[]
PATTS course offerings are recognized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) certifies that PATTS is an Aircraft Maintenance School, rated for Airframe and Power Plant. Aircraft frames and power plants are available for PATTS students to work on, dismantle and assemble in the laboratories under the direct supervision of duly licensed personnel. PATTS graduates are also required to undergo on-the-job training with aviation companies such as Philippine Airlines, Air Philippines, Cebu Pacific, Philippine Aerospace Development Corporation and the Philippine Air Force. This training prepares graduates of PATTS for integration into the industry.
