CASR and EASA Part 66 basic knowledge examinations must be sat at one of our approved exam locations throughout Australia and can be booked via our website.
To complete practical requirements, you have the option to document on the job training (OJT) within your workplace, map your previous practical experience from schedule of experience (SOE) or journal of experience (JOE) or attend practical training at an Aviation Australia facility.
To perform OJT, you will need to print out Trade Unit Certification Sheets (TUCS) for each unit that you need to complete. These TUCS when combined, create your journal of experience.
Please follow the steps below to create your prepare for on the job training:
Once you have completed your Journal of Experience (all TUCS are complete and signed), you must attach you journal with your application for the Final RPL Assessment.
Please note: some units of competencies have been updated and Aviation Australia has amended the relevant TUCS already. For example: MEACOM0043 has superseded MEA164. If you require any assistance on these changes, please contact us here: [email protected]
