Description
This qualification may be of use to individuals employed in aviation maintenance management fields in both the civil and Australian Defence Force regulatory environments in jobs such as avionic maintenance team leaders, maintenance planners, spares assessors, repairable item managers and technical authors. While a direct entry training pathway is provided it must be emphasised that many of the maintenance management positions applicable to the qualification have additional experience requirements specified in airworthiness regulations and only a limited range of employment opportunities may be available to those who do not have extensive prior aviation maintenance experience.
The qualification consists of:
- twelve (12) units from the Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Avionics) that provide a baseline of skills and knowledge
- eight (8) common units, three (3) of which are elective, that provide general competencies applicable to aviation maintenance managers
- four (4) para-professional avionic engineering units
- one imported sustainability unit
Credit is provided towards the MEA60110 Advanced Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management (Avionics).
