Study to become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer

An Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s fundamental purpose is to ensure aircraft are safe and airworthy to fly. No aircraft takes off without being certified to do so by an engineer.

If you enjoy finding practical solutions to complex problems and knowing how things work, then this might be the career path for you.

These Certificate IV Aeroskills courses are designed to ensure that graduating students will leave apprenticeship-ready.
