Advanced Certificate in Aircraft Maintenance (Classroom-based or e-Learning)
Aircraft maintenance stands as a critical pillar in aviation safety. Anticipating a surge in the aviation sector, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, the need for skilled aircraft maintenance engineers and technicians is projected to rise significantly.
The industry’s swift advancement and heightened focus on safety underscore the necessity for adept and certified aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs). With the growing demand for expertise in avionics, composites, and advanced materials, the call for proficient AMEs is stronger than ever.
This course aligns with CAAS/EASA Part 66 Exam modules M4, M5, M7, M8, and M9, preparing learners (students) for CAT A and B1 certification levels as technicians with a strong foundation of basic aircraft maintenance engineering knowledge, and to pursue a career in the aviation industry.
Who Should Attend?
Individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in aircraft maintenance and repair. They would typically be tinkerers who like hands-on work on hi-tech machines.
Individuals who have completed secondary school education and have a background in mathematics and science. It is also suitable for those who have completed a relevant vocational or technical education program.
Working technicians in other industries who are interested in becoming a licensed aircraft engineer would find this program useful, as it provides a path for a career switch and have the drive and motivation to excel in this dynamic field.
