Description
This is a competency-based training means of complying with small aircraft maintenance certification licensing requirements during the four year period 2011 to 2015 while the CAR 31 Basic Examination/Schedule of Experience avenue to licensing for small aircraft maintenance certification remains in operation. It should be noted that this qualification alone will not qualify individuals for the grant of a licence and successful completion of the Basic Examinations will still be required. However, it provides a sound foundation that would complement the examination requirements and would facilitate their completion during an apprenticeship.
Changes may be made to the qualification once a final decision is taken on the form of small aircraft maintenance certification licensing to ensure that it is able to become the pathway to licence after 2015.
