Course Description

This programme is designed to equip learners with the necessary theoretical knowledge of aircraft maintenance and related mechanical systems at technician level. This is also backed by practical experience in our workshops. Learners attending this course will be prepared to sit for the relative examinations organised by awarding bodies, and which may lead to being awarded the EASA Part-66 Category B1.1 licence. Subject to authorisation by the Part-145 Organization, the licence will permit the holder to issue Certificates of Release to Service following scheduled works that may include line maintenance, defect rectifications, aircraft structure, power plants and mechanical and electrical systems. Throughout the course, Civil Aviation Directorate examination fees will be paid by the learner.

This course is a highly innovative programme in the sector and gives the learner the opportunity to obtain an Advanced Diploma apart from sitting for the EASA examinations. Successful learners can then join the aviation maintenance industry.
