Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Programs (Aeroskills)
Certificate IV in Aeroskills
(If you are an International Student, please click here)
This course provides all the underpinning knowledge and skills, through a full time institutional course, prior to the commencement of an apprenticeship in the Aviation industry.
Within Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, there are 3 separate streams to choose from; Avionics, Mechanical and Structures. Each stream specialises in a particular category of maintenance so it is important for you to choose one that interests you.
Avionics
If you are interested in computers and electronics, navigation and communication systems, avionics is the course for you.
Mechanical
If you are interested in working on airframes and large powerful engines, flight control systems, pneumatic and hydraulic systems then the mechanical course is for you.
Structures
If you are interested in working on aircraft structures using advanced aerospace composites and exotic alloys as well as sophisticated bonding procedures and materials, then structures is the course for you.

Aviation Australia's training calendar for aircraft engineering course dates and locations.
Course Delivery
1. Classroom based theory.
2. Online study and examinations.
3. Blended online and traditional classroom revision delivery.
4. Practical hands on training using innovative training aides and a wide range of static aircraft.
Course Outcome
Upon completion, students are provided a Statement of Results documenting the successfully completed underpinning knowledge and skills component of a Unit of Competency. Students will still be required to be assessed as workplace competent via an Apprenticeship in order to achieve a Certificate IV in Aeroskills in your chosen stream.
This training is also recognised by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) as credit towards future Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licensing.
