Ab-Initio (Beginner) Course

A two and one half year programme leading to a QCAR-147 Certificate of Recognition, Category B1.1 Turbine Aeroplane Line Technician Mechanical is offered. This can be combined with a Category B1.2 Piston Aeroplane Technician Mechanical.

Entrants to this programme must be high school graduates (preferably technical or scientific stream) and must demonstrate a good standard of General and Technical English with proven basic mathematical ability. To help students who lack English Language skills, QAC offers up to 12 months of General English and 6 months of Technical English training prior to joining the QCAR-66 programme.

QAC will test potential candidates, at no charge, in order to advise how much, if any, General English Language training is required. General English Language training need not be carried out at QAC but candidates will be retested if the training is carried out at another establishment. Aptitude testing is also carried out in order to ensure that the candidate has the potential to acquire practical skills.

All potential aircraft engineering students should enrol in the Technical English programme unless they can show evidence of equivalent training elsewhere.

Short Courses for Aircraft Maintenance Personnel

In order to be granted a QCAR 66 licence all candidates already holding foreign licences must pass examinations in:
Module 9 - Human Factors and
Module 10 - Legislation

Other examinations will depend on the licence cover held. For details of courses available click here.

Currently, conversion from an FAA A&P Licence to a full QCAR-66 licence has not been considered by the JAA or the QCAA. It is anticipated that account will be taken of these qualifications for the issue of a Category A basic licence.

MODULE 9/10 SHORT COURSE SCHEDULE 2003

Each course day runs from 07:00 to 14:00 with one hour of breaks.

The examination for each course will be held during the final hour of the last day of the course.
