Pre-apprenticeships

Train with the largest CASR and EASA Part 147 approved Maintenance Training Organisation in Australia.

Our aeroskills pre-vocational courses provide the essential training required to begin a career in aircraft maintenance engineering. Our instructors are highly experienced professionals from Commercial and Defense aviation and aerospace industries.

Queensland Government funded qualifications

These Certificate IV Aeroskills courses are designed to ensure that graduating students will leave apprenticeship-ready. We deliver the essential pre-apprenticeship, underpinning vocational theory training towards Certificate IV qualifications in Avionics, Mechanical and Structures. This gives students the basic skills and knowledge to move directly into an apprenticeship or traineeship to continue on their pathway to becoming an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) or Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (LAME).

The pre-vocational training components are aligned to CASR Part 66 requirements. This allows students to not only complete training towards a vocational outcome, but in addition, achieve a CASA Certificate of Recognition for Part 66 examinations, which can be used towards a future Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (LAME) outcome.

James

Aviation Australia provided excellent training towards completing my Apprenticeship, and my time with the instructor was both helpful and informative. He thoroughly explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand and beneficial to my learning. Aviation Australia performed wonderfully in helping me progress in my Apprenticeship.

Richard

I was introduced to Aviation Australia through my employer, so I could obtain a Certificate IV in Aeroskills (Structures). Adrian and Dave were nothing but helpful as they offered me their guidance and time. I felt prepared for the exams and never felt alone in the process. I’m now proud to call them my past teachers as well as professional connections.

Max

My experiences throughout my training at Aviation Australia, Melbourne, was nothing but pleasant. The courseware was in-depth, the teachers were phenomenal, and the other students had a positive and professional mindset.

Isaac

I chose to study Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, specialising in avionics because I knew it would be challenging. I was offered two apprenticeships while still at Aviation Australia and I'm now working as an avionics apprentice at Boeing.

Isabella

After completing the course I secured a job with Jetstar, I love being able to put what I learned into action. Working on aircraft provides the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of each system.
