The theory training is delivered by experienced maintenance engineers in a classroom environment in English using modern delivery techniques. An individual copy of the training material is provided in digital form. The standard training programme is based on 6 hours of instruction per day with appropriate breaks. This can be extended to include visits to aircraft.

The initial entry standard for Type Training is normally holders of the appropriate Part-66 B1/2 Aircraft Maintenance Licences. It is therefore essential that candidates have a technical background in an aircraft maintenance environment and a working knowledge of the English language.

Theoretical Examinations

Examinations will be held at intervals through each theory course. These will be of the multiple-choice type, and a non-penalty marking system will be used. A minimum of 75% is required on each examination. A certificate of recognition will be issued at the end of each course to each student who has satisfactorily completed the course and has passed all the examinations/assessments.

This course provides:

• A detailed knowledge of the aircraft’s systems, major components and locations, their operations, functions, as well as the appropriate maintenance and troubleshooting methods.

• A working knowledge of the aircraft’s maintenance manuals and technical documentation.

• An understanding of common maintenance practices and procedures prescribed in the AMM.

• The knowledge to perform system monitoring and operational tests IAW the aircraft’s technical documentation.

• Insight into the common snags experienced during maintenance events and how to prevent them.
