Aeroplanes 1 Training Scheme

This is a stand-alone Training Scheme and like the others, can be studied flexibly, online and independently while working as an aircraft maintenance engineer. This will allow you to continue full-time employment while working towards completing your CAA examinations – a compulsory requirement for licensing. 

The programme integrates theory with practical illustrations so you can correlate Aircraft Maintenance Engineering License (AMEL) course information with your daily work experience.

You will cover:

• Aerodynamics
• Flight control systems
• Design and construction
• Hydraulic systems
• Landing gear systems
• Heating and ventilation systems
• Weight and balance control
• Equipment and furnishings
• Inspection and testing
• Fuel systems

How do training schemes work?

This Training Scheme is studied online so you can fit it around your work commitments and is available for 56 weeks from enrolment. You should allow approximately 23 hours per week of self-directed learning per course.

Training Schemes allow you to apply and pay for one subject at a time, this allows you can pass the ASPEQ (CAA) exam and enrol on the next Training Scheme of your choice.

NMIT has been teaching aeronautical engineering maintenance for many years and is New Zealand's first approved NZCAA Part 147 Certified Maintenance Training Organisation.
