Certificate II in Aeroskills

This qualification may be of use to employees of aviation maintenance workshops who are required to perform repair and overhaul tasks on a limited range of aircraft electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electro-hydraulic and electro-pneumatic components, or who perform simple repairs on a limited range of structural components.

Units of competency that comprise this qualification are a mix of common units that apply to all technical employment streams covered by the MEA11 Aeroskills Training Package (core units) and technical stream units that are specific to a technical employment stream (elective units).

The qualification provides significant credits towards higher level Aeroskills Certificates.
