Aeromech (Brisbane, Australia) has announced the opening of the Aeromech Training Centre in Brisbane to deliver advanced composites training for aerospace manufacturing and repair across Australia first, with subsequent expansion to New Zealand, the broader Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East. Alongside this launch, the company highlights its flagship “Advanced Composites Aerospace Manufacturing and Repair” training program offering comprehensive training across the full life cycle of composite manufacturing and sustainment.
“This is more than a training center — it’s a strategic capability enabler,” says Joe Bryant, founder and managing director at Aeromech. “Whether you’re starting out or building on years of experience, our programs equip professionals with the technical knowledge and hands-on skills needed to meet modern aerospace requirements.”
The goal, he says, is to address the aerospace and defense skills shortage and build a robust, sovereign workforce — all with minimal disruption to operations through the Training Centre’s portable, turnkey delivery mode. “We bring the same quality training to your location — whether you’re in Brisbane, Darwin, Auckland or anywhere across the region,” says Bryant. “It’s flexible, efficient and always industry-grade.”
Aeromech’s training course was developed by experienced engineers and technicians with extensive defense and commercial aerospace backgrounds. It is designed for current and aspiring manufacturing and repair technicians, engineers and managers. Exceeding the standards of the EASA- and FAA-approved SAE AIR4938 – Composite and Bonded Structure Technical Specialist Training, the program includes:
- Occupational health and safety
- Understanding and handling of composite materials
- Understanding tooling and structural design
- Layup, bonding, curing and composites fabrication techniques
- Inspection, nondestructive testing and damage assessment
- Structural repair, quality assurance and compliance
- Surface prep and painting
- Supply chain, quality and the management of composites end to end in a manufacturing and operational environment
- Real-world scenarios from rotary and fixed-wing platforms in civilian aviation and defense.
The course combines in-depth theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on experience, delivered by practicing aerospace industry professionals. All materials and equipment are provided and course content is tailored from entry-level through to advanced users and specialized applications, depending on a participant’s expertise and skill level. Accredited and non-accredited options available.
The “Advanced Composites Aerospace Manufacturing and Repair Training” course is now open for enrollment at the Aeromech Training Centre in Brisbane, with portable training delivery available across Australia, Asia, Oceania and the Middle East.

Aeromech’s roots in aerospace
Aeromech was founded by Joe Bryant, a recognized expert in aerospace composites and a former senior leader at Airbus Australia. Bryant led and managed Airbus Australia’s Advanced Composites Manufacturing Facility and was also responsible for the NH90 Final Assembly and Delivery Line, overseeing the local production and delivery of advanced multi-role military helicopters.
His first-hand experience with high-performance aerospace manufacturing and complex aircraft integration underpins Aeromech’s training philosophy: real-world relevance, industry credibility and future readiness.
The Training Centre is also supported by Joseph Saporito, former CEO of Airbus Australia and executive vice president of supply chain at Airbus Helicopters, further strengthening Aeromech’s strategic alignment with global aerospace standards.

“This is exactly the kind of practical, targeted training the region needs,” says Saporito. “Aeromech is preparing the next generation of aerospace professionals with the knowledge and hands-on ability to deliver on real operational demands.”
The opening of the Aeromech Training Centre follows the success of the company’s Advanced Composite Workshops for high school students, which have introduced hundreds of students across Australia to aerospace manufacturing. These workshops are bridging the gap between education and industry, sparking early interest and creating clear career pathways into aerospace, defense and advanced manufacturing.
