Ambrosio R. Valdez Sr. 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.

PATTS was relocated from its old site at Domestic Airport Road, Pasay to its new home at Lombos Avenue, San Isidro, Parañaque.

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.
