Training
Along with industry and research, education and training is the third mainstay of the Aeronautics, Space and Embedded Systems cluster. It is a fundamental pillar that must enable us to rise to the challenge of economic changes and international competition in these sectors, by bringing training into line with job opportunities and also thanks to the determination of local players, as expressed in the application dossier.
A major project: the Toulouse Aerospace Campus
The objective is to set up the largest European university campus in the field of aeronautics, space and embedded systems and give it greater renown on an international scale.

The objective is to set up the largest European university campus in the field of aeronautics, space and embedded systems and give it greater renown on an international scale.

The main participants in the field of training and research will thus be grouped on the same site:
- The three major aeronautical engineering schools in Toulouse within the GEA (group of aeronautical schools) - SUPAERO, ENSICA and ENAC – along with the universities and university institutes located in the same geographical area: Paul Sabatier University, INSA and INPT
- Group of 1,000 research scientists, mainly from ONERA, EADS CCR, CNRS, and CNES
- Creation of the necessary infrastructures for development of SMEs.
Education/training at a very high level: 3 major engineering schools specialised in aeronautics. These 3 schools in Toulouse belong to the Aerospace Engineering Schools group (4 major engineering schools in France).

ENAC: National Civil Aviation School
This school has 1,500 students (initial training), the vast majority of whom follow the engineering course over a 3-year study period (ENAC engineers, air traffic control engineers, air safety systems electronics engineers, etc.). Training courses are also provided for Senior Technicians in aviation studies and operations, together with specialised training (post-graduate diplomas).

ENSICA: National School of Aeronautics Construction Engineering
The school has over 500 students (initial training), chiefly in engineering courses. Teaching is broken down into four main departments: Avionics and Systems, Mechanical Engineering, Fluids Mechanics, Mathematics and Information Technology.
