Description
This qualification may be of use to individuals employed in managerial positions in both the civil and Australian Defence Force regulatory environments in the fields of avionic maintenance management and Integrated Logistic Support. It should also be noted that most of the maintenance management positions applicable to this qualification have airworthiness regulatory requirements regarding aviation maintenance experience. There is therefore no direct entry pathway to the qualification.
Individuals seeking this qualification must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- at least five years current avionic maintenance experience
- Maintenance Engineer Licence (Avionics) issued by CASA
- Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Avionics)
- Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Avionics).
The qualification consists of:
- twenty four (24) common units and three (3) imported units, seventeen (17) of which are elective, that provide general competencies applicable to aviation maintenance managers
- four (4) para-professional avionic engineering units
With regard to the employability skills, due to the high proportion of electives required by this qualification, the industry/enterprise requirements described for each employability skill are representative of the aviation maintenance industry in general and may not reflect specific job roles. Learning and assessment strategies for this qualification should be based on the requirements of the units of competency for this qualification.
