What You'll Learn
To be awarded the Diploma, participants are required to complete a total of 5 Modular Certificates (MCs). A certificate will be issued upon successful completion of each MC.
Students, upon completion of the subject Aviation Legislation and Human Factors, can take the CAAS basic knowledge examinations in M09 Human Factors, and M10 Aviation Legislation, which are two of the modules necessary for the qualification of aircraft maintenance licence in Category A, B1 and B2.
Modular Certificate in Aircraft Maintenance
The growing local aircraft industry requires aircraft maintenance personnel who are professionally trained. The Certificate in Aircraft Maintenance provides students with the necessary technical, mechanical and academic knowledge required to complement their working experience in aircraft maintenance, repair, overhaul, modification and other aviation related fields.
Modular Certificate in Aviation Management & Safety
The certificate provides students with a broad understanding of aviation human factors, aviation legislation, project management skills and lean processes. Students will be given opportunities to embark on mini-projects to enhance their understanding of the subject knowledge.
Modular Certificate in Aircraft Propulsion
After completing this certificate, students will gain fundamental knowledge in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and the different constructions and working principles of aircraft gas turbine engines.
Modular Certificate in Aircraft Structures
This certificate is designed to equip students with basic knowledge in deriving the aircraft structures. The subjects are infused with fundamental concepts of simple statics, methodology in designing members, airframe structures, their construction methods, principles of aerodynamics and flight controls.
Modular Certificate in Avionics Fundamentals
The subjects covered in this certification provide fundamental knowledge in electrical, instruments and computers that control flight and engine that is relevant to aerospace avionic systems.
