Invest in Your
Technical Certification!
WHO ARE THESE EXAMINATIONS FOR?
These examinations are intended for support staff or certifying staff, with or without prior experience, who wish to obtain a Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) or extend the scope of their existing certification privileges, without having to undertake a complete Basic Training course.
BENEFITS
These examinations provide greater flexibility and lower training costs, allowing candidates to study at their own pace and obtain their EASA Part-66 Licence progressively, making them particularly suitable for professionals already working within the aviation industry.
EXAMINATIONS IN ENGLISH
All examinations are conducted in English, in accordance with international aviation standards and current regulatory requirements.
EXAMINATIONS

Applicants must have completed upper secondary education (12th grade) or equivalent and be at least 18 years of age.
Self-Proposed Basic Examinations
In addition to being intended for support staff and certifying staff, these examinations are also available to candidates holding Bachelor's, Master's or Doctoral degrees, as well as other recognised qualifications.
The scheduling of the Basic Examinations does not need to follow the numerical order of the modules; candidates may choose the sequence in which they wish to sit the examinations.
Candidates who choose to complete the Basic Examinations without attending Basic Training may apply for an EASA Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence based on the examination certificates obtained for the relevant modules within the scope of an EASA Part-147 Approved Maintenance Training Organisation.
