Upskill or specialise

Whether you’re looking to gain a new qualification, remove a licence exclusion, add a new licence category or move into a completely different area of aviation, Aviation Australia can help you take the next step.

Our training pathways are designed for both new and experienced aviation professionals, from aircraft maintenance engineers and pilots to remotely piloted aircraft operators.

Progress from AME to LAME

Ready to take the next step in your maintenance career?

Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (LAMEs) play a critical role in ensuring aircraft safety and airworthiness. If you’re an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME), we can help you work towards a CASA Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence through training, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and licence pathway advice.

Whether you’re pursuing your first licence category or building on existing qualifications, we’ll help you identify the right training pathway.

Common pathways include:

• Mechanical licence categories
• Avionics licence categories
• Diploma-level qualifications
• Modular training pathways selected by employers
• Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Add an additional licence category

Already hold a CASA Part 66 licence?

You may wish to expand your privileges by adding an additional licence category or sub-category. We offer a range of theory and practical training options to help licensed engineers meet CASA requirements and broaden their career opportunities.

Remove licence exclusions

If your licence includes exclusions, targeted training can help you achieve broader certification privileges.

Some of the most common pathways include:

• Electrical Instrument and Electrical Systems (E12)
• Part 145 Electrical Licence Exclusion Training
• Additional aircraft systems competencies
• Gap training identified through RPL assessments

Our team can help identify exactly what training is required for your licence.

Convert an overseas licence

Planning to build your aviation career in Australia?

We assist international aircraft maintenance engineers to convert overseas qualifications and licences toward Australian CASA Part 66 licensing requirements.

Through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), we’ll assess your qualifications, identify any training gaps and help you achieve the licences and ratings required to work in Australia.

Become a commercial pilot

Looking to move into the cockpit?

Through our pilot training partners and pathways, you can explore training options that support progression towards a professional flying career.

Whether you’re starting your journey or advancing existing qualifications, we can help connect you with the right pathway.

Advance your RPAS qualifications

The drone industry is growing rapidly across Australia.

If you’re already operating remotely piloted aircraft, you may be ready to expand your operational capabilities through advanced qualifications and approvals.

Opportunities include:

• Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations
• Operations with aircraft over 20kg
• Remote Operator’s Certificate (ReOC) training and support
• Industry-specific drone applications

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You may already have the skills, knowledge and experience needed to reduce your training requirements.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assesses your existing qualifications, licences and workplace experience against training outcomes and licensing requirements.

RPL can help:

• Reduce duplicated training
• Identify pathway options
• Shorten the time required to achieve a qualification
• Support licence progression and conversion pathways
