Description

This qualification applies to individuals employed in senior paraprofessional engineering and in managerial positions in both the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and the Australian Defence Force (ADF) regulatory environments in the fields of avionic engineering and engineering management. It should also be noted that many of the positions applicable to this qualification also have airworthiness regulatory requirements regarding prior aviation experience.

There are a total of forty-three (44) units of which twenty-eight (28) are core units and the remainder are electives from which units must be chosen in accordance with the selection guidance provided.

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.
