Description

This qualification applies to individuals employed in managerial positions in both the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and Australian Defence Force (ADF) regulatory environments in the fields of avionic maintenance management and integrated logistic support (ILS). 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.

The qualification consists of:
twenty-five (25) common units and two (2) imported units, seventeen (17) of which are elective, that provide general competencies applicable to aviation maintenance managers
five (5) paraprofessional avionic engineering units.

This qualification applies to workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the ADF and CASA. Any regulatory/licensing requirements associated with any MEA units of competency must be met.
