About the Course
Sigma Aerospace College Diploma courses are designed for all aspiring aircraft engineers and meet the training and assessment requirements to progress towards licencing.
Theory training is delivered online via self-paced learning via Sigma’s Learning Management System. Practical training is not included so practical criteria are met via Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) by uploading suitable evidence.
Before You Enrol:
This course covers the MEA Aeroskills Training Package units of competency, and Part 66 Modular Assessments required to be attained before being able to fully exercise the licence privileges of the A1 licence.
This course is only suitable for individuals already working in an aircraft maintenance environment, and is not open for individuals on an international student visa.
On successful completion of the course and its requirements, you will receive a CASR Part 66 A1 licence & MEA20518 Certificate II in Aircraft Line Maintenance.
Looking for multiple licences (B1.1,B1.2 etc? – we provide discounts on subsequent licence outcomes; please get in contact after you apply).
