The Institute of Military History (VHÚ) supports dual education. Students from Private Secondary Technical School, located in Bratislavaʼs Exnárova Street, have a unique opportunity to participate in maintaining and reprocessing historic assets as part of their practical training. The activity is supervised by experienced VHÚ employees and conducted directly at the Museum of Military History (VHM) Piešťany.
“As part of this practical training, they carry out assembly and disassembly works, simple repair and maintenance activities, as well as assisting in conservation of military museum assets. Thanks to this, they acquire practical expertise and theoretical knowledge that are instrumental to their career progression in the aircraft technician study programme,” explained the Director of VHÚ, Col Miloslav Čaplovič.
As he added, students from this Bratislava-based school, which has an agreement on the provision of training with military historians, help maintain and restore museum exhibits from the collections of VHM Piešťany, thereby taking part in preserving the cultural heritage of the Slovak Republic. “For example, they have so far assisted in repairing the fuselages of an L-410MA and an L-410FG, maintaining and preparing the interior of an Mi-4A helicopter for renovation, and cleaning the airframe and wings of an MiG-15 aircraft. In addition, they have played a role in maintaining and cleaning undercarriages, airframes and wings of MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-22 and Su-25 aircraft,” added Col Čaplovič.
