Where will this course lead?
Aerospace Engineering offers many fantastic career paths, including the design, manufacture and maintenance of aircraft. For maintenance, if you prefer the idea of a hands-on role, it requires practically-minded people with the opportunity to work 'up-close' on aircraft.
Aircraft engineers maintain, inspect, repair and service aircraft to achieve EASA internationally - approved licenses and sustain aviation's high safety standards all over the world.
Specialising in either "Mechanical" and/or "Avionics", qualified aircraft engineers work for airlines, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) divisions of aerospace manufacturers or specialist aircraft maintenance companies.
There are also military routes whilst the General Aviation (GA) community, which spans a huge range of activities from Flying Clubs to Business jets (below 5700Kg) and airlines (above 5700Kg) also require qualified engineers to maintain their fleets.
What will I study?
General engineering maintenance skills which can be applied to a variety of potential engineering career paths (not just the aviation industry).
Units covered include:
Unit 201: Working in Engineering
Unit 202: Principles of Engineering Technology
Unit 208: Principles of Maintenance Technology
