Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the career prospects for Diploma of Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) graduates?
Graduates have multiple career options in international Aviation Maintenance including:
- gaining further practical experience (minimum two years) and then applying for a European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licence.
- working as an unlicensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) indefinitely or while waiting to qualify to be eligible to apply for AME licence.
-
Will I receive a European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) licence when I complete my Diploma Aircraft Maintenance Engineering?
Diploma graduates receive the EASA Examination Completion Certificate. This means students have completed required EASA exams and do not need to sit these exams again before applying for their Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licence. Students then need a minimum of two years industry experience working on operating aircraft.
Normally, five years industry experience is required to be eligible to apply for an EASA licence. The Aviation Australia Diploma includes practical maintenance training approved by EASA which means a minimum 2 years (not the usual five years) industry experience is required before graduates are eligible to apply for an EASA Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licence.
