Course Description
The affordability of air travel has led to a significant growth in the air carrier industry, creating a huge demand for aircraft maintenance staff. Suitably qualified personnel, especially those allowed to certify the aircraft’s airworthiness, are highly sought after and command high salaries. This Diploma incorporates the European Aviation Safety Agency* (EASA) syllabus, preparing you for the EASA Part 66 Category B1 or B2 license examinations. You sit for the EASA license examination at the same time as you pursue your diploma, which is the first step in gaining a full EASA license. As part of the course, you will undergo guaranteed industrial attachment with our aviation partners.
*The European Aviation Safety Agency is the centerpiece of the European Union’s strategy for aviation safety, promoting the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation. Visit www.easa.eu for more information.
