Certificate in Advanced Aircraft Maintenance
Includes NMIT Certificate in Mechanical Engineering (Aircraft Maintenance)
National Certificate in Aircraft Servicing (Level 2)
National Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering (Related Technology) (Level 3)
National Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering (Level 4)
with strands in Aircraft Mechanical and Aircraft Powreplant Programme Level* 5
Programme Structure
15- or 30-credit courses over two years of full time study . Full time students
are expected to complete 120 credits per year. One Credit Means 10 learning
hours, which include both classroom and self directed learning
Pre-requisites
Courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, electronics, computer science and
technical drawing are helpful because they demonstrate many of the principles
involved in the operation of aircraft and knowledge of these principles is often
necessary to make repairs. Courses that develop writing skills also are
important because engineers are often required to submit reports.
Personal Qualities
Aircraft engineers must do careful and thorough work that requires a high degree
of mechanical aptitude. Employers seek applicants who are self-motivated, hard
working, enthusiastic and able to diagnose and solve complex mechanical
problems. Agility is important for the reaching and climbing necessary to do the
job. Because they may work on the tops of wings and fuselages on large jet
planes, aircraft engineers must have a good level of fitness.
Advances in computer technology, aircraft systems, and the materials used to
manufacture airplanes have made engineers' jobs more highly technical. Aircraft
engineers must possess the skills necessary to troubleshoot and diagnose complex
aircraft systems. They also must continually update their skills and knowledge
of new technology and advances in aircraft technology.
Programme Structure
The programme is divided into three sections:
Basic
Engineering
Mechanical
Engineering
Technical
Engineering
Safety and theory components of the course must be completed before practical
elements are undertaken
After successful completion of year 1, students will have completed the NMIT
Certificate in Mechanical Engineering (Aircraft Maintenance).
The Certificate in Advanced Aircraft Maintenance is made up of courses of 15 and
30-credit size.

Forms of Assessment
Assessments can include theory exams, practical skills assessments, assignments,
assessment of work-based training, attendance and attitude to study, colleagues
and supervisors.
Recognition of Academic Credit
Students may apply to have relevant experience or qualifications recognised as
academic credit for courses within this programme. Methods of recognition
include Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Cross-Credit.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Recognition of Prior Learning is the application of credit towards a
qualification awarded following formal appraisal of prior learning in respect of
learning arising from life experience, work experience, informal and/or formal
education or training.
Cross Credit
Cross-Credit is the application of academic credit of a course towards an NMIT
qualification, of a course already completed as part of another qualification
that covers the same learning outcomes as the NMIT course and is at the same
academic level. Applications for RPL or cross credit should be made to the
Programme Leader. No fees apply to cross credit, but an RPL fee is charged for
each course.
Course Descriptors
AME201 - Personal Development and Engineering Safety 15 credits Pre-requisite
None
This course provides students with the skills and knowledge to be responsible
workers. First-aid and safety in the workshop ensure that students take care of
themselves, workshop equipment and colleagues. Students are taught how to use
and maintain tools and equipment and are introduced to the flight line where
much of their work will be carried out. Skills for personal development such as
CV writing and communication skills are included in this course.
AME301 - Trade Science and Administration 15 credits Pre-requisite None
This course applies basic electrical principles to aircraft electrical circuits.
The course covers selection, use and corrosion of engineering material,
particularly metals. Engineering drawings are produced and analysed.
Problem-solving and mathematics are also covered.
AME302 - Measurement, Precision, Assembly and Disassembly 15 credits
Pre-requisite None
This course covers precise marking and measuring as well as assembling and
disassembling components.
AME303 - Metal Shop and Power-Driven Machines 15 credits Pre-requisite None
This course teaches students care and use of power-driven tools and sheet
metalwork equipment, as well as the skills needed for welding.
AME304 - Maintenance Practices and Aircraft Service 15 credits Pre-requisite
Completion of the Basic Engineering section of the certificate This course
introduces the student to aircraft maintenance with special emphasis on fuel
systems.
AME305 - Aircraft Systems and Controls 15 credits Pre-requisite
Completion of the Basic Engineering section of the certificate This course gives
students further skills for aircraft maintenance, with particular emphasis on
flight
control systems, environmental systems, wheels, brakes and tyres.
