About the course
Apply knowledge of turbine engines to the certification of aeronautical maintenance.
This is a stand-alone Training Scheme and like the others, can be studied flexibly, online and independently while working as an aircraft maintenance engineer. This will allow you to continue full-time employment while working towards completing your CAA examinations – a compulsory requirement for licensing.
This course helps students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain turbine engines.
NZQA Unit Standard 20901 will be awarded after the successful completion of the AMEL Aeronautical Science – Turbine Engines Exam 8.
You will cover:
- Turbine engine operation
- Turbine engine design and construction
- Turbine engine ignition systems
- Turbine engine fuel systems
- Turbine engine lubrication systems
- Turbine engine air and cooling systems
- Turbine engine indicating and instrument systems
- Turbine engine power augmentation systems
- Turbine engine control systems
How do training schemes work?
This Training Scheme is studied online so you can fit it around your work commitments and is available for 56 weeks from enrolment. You should allow approximately 23 hours per week of self-directed learning per course.
Training Schemes allow you to apply and pay for one subject at a time, this means you can pass the ASPEQ (CAA) exam and enrol on the next Training Scheme of your choice.
NMIT has been teaching aeronautical engineering maintenance for many years and is New Zealand's first approved NZCAA Part 147 Certified Maintenance Training Organisation.

Information for Applicants
Computer literacy:
Students planning to study this programme must be competent using a computer/mobile device. A sufficient level of computer literacy would include competent use of basic file management, email, internet, and word processing skills.
Due to the fact that most students will be studying part-time while they are in a full-time employment, it is strongly recommended not to enrol for more than one course per semester (20 credit or 25 credit course). In case the student wants to study more than one course, and personal circumstances allow an available and dedicated period of time for study (i.e. not in full-time work), the Programme Coordinator must be contacted and will advise the student accordingly.
