Director of Mohammed VI International Civil Aviation Academy

The Director position at the Mohammed VI International Civil Aviation Academy

The Ministry of Transport and Logistics has opened a call for applications for the position of Director of the Mohammed VI International Civil Aviation Academy. This is a senior responsibility post classified as “director or president of a public establishment”, under announcement code S 2209/26. The appointment follows the procedure for senior posts deliberated in the Government Council, as reflected in the standard curriculum vitae form prescribed by the relevant regulatory framework.

This is not an ordinary recruitment procedure: it concerns the head of a public institution specialising in training civil aviation professionals. The announcement therefore emphasises substantial professional experience, a concrete development project for the institution, and formal requirements relating to nationality and qualifications.

Conditions applicants must meet

The announcement sets three essential conditions that the applicant must satisfy when submitting the file:

• Moroccan nationality: the applicant must hold Moroccan nationality.
• Diploma: the applicant must hold a higher education diploma permitting classification at scale 11 or an equivalent qualification.
• Professional experience: the applicant must have at least fifteen (15) years of professional experience in the public or private sector.

Equivalence of foreign diplomas

The announcement requires copies of equivalence decisions to be attached for diplomas awarded by foreign universities or by private institutions. Holders of such diplomas must therefore include the equivalence decision in their file, not merely the original diploma. The condition relating to scale 11 or an equivalent level must be assessed in the light of the diploma obtained and, where applicable, of the equivalence decision.

The application file: required documents

The application file consists of the following documents and must be submitted in six (06) copies:

• The standard unified curriculum vitae form, obtainable from the public employment portal or from the Ministry of Transport and Logistics website, bearing a photograph and completed by the applicant.
• A concise copy of the curriculum vitae.
• Copies of diplomas, certificates and documents proving that the applicant meets the required conditions and qualifications, together with copies of equivalence decisions where applicable.
• A project for developing the Academy's performance, which must be practically framed within the missions assigned to the director of the institution.

The development project: a decisive document

The development project is one of the central elements of the file, because it links the required experience to the institution's future direction. The announcement does not merely ask for “a project”: it requires it to be operational in character and consistent with the director's missions. It should therefore reflect an accurate understanding of the Academy's role in training civil aviation professionals and set out a feasible approach.

Files that will not be considered

It should be noted that any file submitted after the deadline, not meeting the required conditions, or missing one of the documents listed above will not be taken into consideration. This is a strict rule covering form as well as substance, so the completeness of the file must be checked before submission.

How to apply and where to submit the file

The application file is collected from the Academy's premises in Casablanca or downloaded from the Academy's website. It is submitted, in six copies, to the Directorate of Administrative, Legal and General Affairs of the Ministry of Transport and Logistics, at the following address: Avenue El Haj Ahmed Cherkaoui, Administrative District Agdal, Rabat.

Submission takes place during the administrative working hours in force in public administrations, from the date of publication of the order until 27 November 2026 at 16:30.

Application steps

1. Collect or download the standard curriculum vitae form.
2. Complete the form and attach the photograph.
3. Prepare a concise copy of the curriculum vitae.
4. Assemble copies of diplomas, certificates and supporting documents, together with equivalence decisions where applicable.
5. Prepare a practical project for developing the Academy's performance.
6. Print the file in six copies and check that it is complete.
7. Submit it to the Directorate of Administrative, Legal and General Affairs in Rabat before the deadline.

Selection interviews and invitations

The announcement states that shortlisted applicants will be invited to selection interviews, with the invitation sent by email to the address declared in the standard unified form. The validity of that email address and regular monitoring of the inbox are therefore practically important, as this is the designated communication channel.

The announcement sets no date and gives no further details about these interviews. Applicants should therefore rely on the published information and not assume any timetable or criteria that have not been announced.

Practical pointers for a strong application

Beyond the official conditions, applicants may follow a practical preparation checklist, on the understanding that it is indicative and does not constitute an official requirement:

• Check the three conditions (nationality, diploma, experience) before starting to assemble the file.
• Confirm that the diploma permits classification at scale 11 or is equivalent, and attach the equivalence decision if the diploma is foreign or awarded by a private institution.
• Prepare a concise curriculum vitae highlighting professional experience exceeding fifteen years.
• Draft a clear, operational development project integrated with the director's missions.
• Review the file to confirm that all documents are present before printing six copies.
• Submit the file during administrative hours and before 16:30 on 27 November 2026.
• Verify the email address entered in the form, since the interview invitation is sent there.

Key facts

Applicants should rely on the information set out above and respect the deadlines and formal conditions, since any missing document may result in the file not being considered.
