The subject modules are designed to fulfil the theoretical understanding and practical application requirements for the QCAR-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence Basic Examination for B1.1 Turbine Aeroplanes and B1.2 Piston Aeroplanes. The above curriculum design is subject to ongoing review and approval by the QCAA. While the design will change the design objective of meeting QCAR-66 requirements will remain the same.

The training courses provide the underpinning knowledge and basic practical hand skills necessary to progress to a safe competent engineer, capable of performing and certifying maintenance tasks on Turbine and/or Piston Aeroplanes. Forty percent of the programme is practical skills training.

Examinations (pass mark 75%) are carried out on completion of each subject module and ongoing assessments are carried out during all practical training, with practical reports being completed on completion of each subject.

Theoretical instruction and related practical training are conducted in parallel wherever appropriate. Visits to Maintenance Organisations are scheduled to support the training programme.

The final three months of the programme will be conducted within an appropriate Maintenance Organisation for structured and managed training in an operational environment. This assessed on the job training is carried out where base maintenance activities will be regularly encountered in order to ensure that the experience has depth as well as breadth.

The QCAR-66 Modules covered by the above curriculum are:

1. Mathematics
2. Physics
3. Electrical Fundamentals
4. Electronic Fundamentals
5. Digital Techniques / Electronic Instrument Systems
6. Materials and Hardware
7. Maintenance Practices
