If you're interested in a career in aircraft maintenance engineering and would rise to the challenge of signing off aircraft as fit to fly, this programme is ideal. If you complete the course and satisfy all of the EASA category B aircraft maintenance engineers licence after a further period of work experience. Please note that the work experience does not form part of the course. The programme is designed primarily to provide a higher education funded path to a career as a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer in the aircraft industry. However, it also provides an alternative to the more commonly found aerospace design courses for those wishing to seek employment in other areas of the aviation industry such as maintenance planning and control, product development, technical services and other support departments. An International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) study published in March 2011 estimated a shortfall of approximately 18,000 places per year in current maintenance training, which means a qualification in aircraft engineering will stand you in good stead in the job market.
