Strategic Purpose Statement |
The purpose of this qualification is to provide the aeronautical engineering industry with graduates who have attained sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical skills to certify aircraft maintenance.
The qualification covers the requirements of the subjects for the issue of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence (AMEL) (issued under Part 66 Rule of the Civil Aviation Act 1990) without rating privileges, with the individual strands recognising the specific categories and groups as defined in CAA Part 66, to achieve employment as licenced aircraft maintenance engineers. This qualification is intended for experienced aeronautical engineers, who want to broaden their knowledge and skills, to enable them to certify aircraft maintenance work. |
