Description

This qualification may be of use to individuals employed in aviation maintenance management fields in both the civil and ADF regulatory environments in jobs such as avionic maintenance team leaders, maintenance planners, spares assessors, repairable item managers and technical authors. 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. For this reason the qualification has entry requirements.

The qualification consists of:
ten (10) core units that provide competencies applicable to aviation maintenance managers
one (1) or two (2) elective units chosen according to employment need.
