This entry-level qualification provides you with a foundation base of skills and knowledge that will prepare you for further training and qualifications in Aeronautical Engineering.

This is an Air New Zealand pre-employment course. Please contact Air New Zealand for more information.

The primary aim of this qualification is to recognise people’s skills in storekeeping in an aeronautical environment while providing a path from other associated industries to the specific requirements of the aviation industry.

This qualification recognises skills in servicing aircraft on a flight line or ramp. Holders of the certificate are able to carry out tasks such as replenishments, refuelling, ground handling, and pre- and post-flight checks on an aircraft flight line or ramp. Options are available within the qualification for servicing either helicopters or fixed wing aircraft.

The purpose of this qualification is to provide the aeronautical engineering industry with graduates who are able to enter the workforce in a variety of aeronautical engineering work roles, or progress to further training. The qualification is intended for learners who are planning to embark on a career as an aeronautical engineer.

Gives you the core set of skills required for people working in all areas of aircraft manufacturing.

Gives you the skills required to carry out maintenance, overhauls and repairs to aircraft systems, components and equipment to Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) standards.

Gives you the skills required to carry out overhauls and repairs to aircraft and/or aeroderivative gas turbine engines, systems and components.

A stand-alone qualification relating to management of maintenance control for an aviation engineering organisation in keeping with the CAA regulatory requirements for this role.

The certificate is intended for people who currently hold a National Certificate in a subfield other than aeronautical engineering, or equivalent, for example general engineering, or allied trades, and who are using the skills contained in that qualification in the aeronautical engineering industry. This qualification has strands in Aeronautical Non Destructive Testing, Armament, Avionic Electrical Repair, Avionic Instrument Repair, Avionic Maintenance, Avionic Radio Repair, Aircraft Mechanical, Aircraft Powerplant, Rotorcraft, and Aircraft Structures.

During this apprenticeship trainees complete required Unit Standards through a mix of on-job training and block courses while being paid a salary by the employer. Once qualified, aircraft manufacture engineers are highly sought after around the world in the aviation industry.

Stands offered are Aeronautical Non Destructive Testing, Aircraft Mechanical, Aircraft Powerplant, Aircraft Structures, Armament, Avionic Electrical Repair, Avionic Instrument Repair, Avionic Maintenance, Avionic Radio Repair, and Rotorcraft. This apprenticeship can combine on-job training and block courses to give you the skills required to carry out maintenance, overhauls and repairs to aircraft systems, components and equipment to Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) standards.

The purpose of this qualification is to provide the global aeronautical engineering sector with individuals who have attained sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical skills, and are working towards gaining the operational experience in organisations employing Part 145 processes, as required by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Rule Part 66 to achieve employment as licenced aviation maintenance engineers. In order to gain an EASA aviation maintenance licence, graduates will be required to complete two years practical maintenance experience on operating aircraft as defined in EASA Rule Part 66.

The qualification is primarily designed to meet the global training and education needs of both international and domestic trainees, and is suited for people either already employed in the industry as current Aeronautical Engineers who may wish to train towards gaining an EASA licence, or people aspiring to become Aeronautical Engineers. Graduates will have complete self-management of learning and performance within the defined contexts of the applicable Aviation Authority rules.

This qualification is designed for people who carry out the maintenance planning function for aircraft fleets and organisations within the aviation industry.

The purpose of this qualification is to provide the aeronautical engineering industry with graduates who are able to carry out the production control function specific to an aeronautical engineering environment. The qualification is intended for learners who are experienced aeronautical engineers and who want to broaden their work role to encompass the production control function.

The purpose of this qualification is to provide the aeronautical engineering industry with graduates who carry out the quality assurance function specific to an aeronautical engineering environment. This qualification is intended for learners who are experienced aeronautical engineers, and who want to broaden their knowledge and skills to include quality assurance in the aeronautical engineering sector of the aviation industry.

The purpose of this qualification is to provide the aeronautical engineering industry with graduates who have attained sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical skills to provide technical support services for aircraft operation and maintenance activities. This qualification is intended for learners who are experienced aeronautical engineers, and who want to broaden their knowledge and skills in the technical support function of the aeronautical engineering sector.

For people working towards the privileges of certifying the release to service of aircraft or components following maintenance. Covers the topics required for issue of CAA Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence (AMEL) without rating privileges.
