PATTS College of Aeronautics, also known as Philippine Air Transport and Training Services, is an aeronautical school at Lombos Ave., San Isidro, Parañaque City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Its mission is to provide quality aeronautical education for Filipinos and to help its graduates in the labor market. It was founded by Atty. Ambrosio R. Valdez Sr., for whom the school's gymnasium hall was named. ==History== PATTS College of Aeronautics was founded in 1969 as the Philippine Air Transport and Training Services, a joint venture of Filipino and American pioneers in aviation. The primary aim was to establish a manufacturing and assembly plant for training aircraft. The secondary aim was to start an aeronautical school to meet the needs of the domestic and international air transportation industry. The unfavorable investment climate at the time constrained the founders to drop the first objective and only organize and operate an aeronautical school, intended to provide professional and technical training to its clients. The school started with One–Year Airframe Mechanic, Two-Year Airframe Mechanic, One Year Power Plant Mechanic and Two-Year Power Plant Mechanic courses. In its second year of operation the 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 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 City to its new home at Lombos Avenue, San Isidro, Parañaque City. The new four-story building, equipped with modern facilities, sits on a spacious campus. Educational successes encouraged the Board of Directors to be more forward-thinking in their management of the school. Following the 36th Anniversary theme, “To Infinity and Beyond”, management announced a new diversification policy. 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「PATTS College of Aeronautics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
