National Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering (Aircraft Manufacture)

Level 4

Credits 120

Purpose This National Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering (Aircraft Manufacture) [Ref: 0742] is for employees in the New Zealand Aircraft Manufacturing industry. The qualification recognises the skills and knowledge required for the industry and comprises a core set of skills for people working in all areas of aircraft manufacturing. Holders of this certificate will have skills and knowledge in the areas of aeronautical engineering and engineering core skills, aircraft structures, engineering drawing and design, and engineering materials. Elective standards recognise the skills for particular areas including aircraft painting, aircraft furnishing and equipment, aircraft servicing, aeronautical machining, aircraft mechanical maintenance, aeronautical storekeeping, aircraft structures, aeronautical non destructive testing, and welding. These are particular jobs within the process of aircraft manufacture and the flexibility in the elective section enables these functions to be recognised across multiple workplaces. The certificate is structured to ensure that holders have a concentration of specialist skills required for an operator working under either, Part 145, Part 146, and/or Part 148 of the Civil Aviation Rules 1990. This qualification builds on the skills and knowledge covered in the National Certificate in Mechanical Engineering (Level 2) [Ref: 1220]. Candidates may progress towards the National Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering with strands in Aeronautical Non Destructive Testing, Aircraft Mechanical, Aircraft Powerplant, Aircraft Structures, Armament, Avionic Electrical Repair, Avionic Instrument Repair, Avionic Maintenance, Avionic Radio Repair, and Rotorcraft [Ref: 0192]. Special Notes It is recommended that the National Certificate in Mechanical Engineering (Level 2) [Ref: 1220] be completed prior to enrolling for this qualification. Credit Range Compulsory Elective Level 1 credits - - Level 2 credits 15 - Level 3 credits 33 0-32 Level 4 or above credits 25 15-47 Minimum totals 73 47




Requirements for Award of Qualification Award of NZQF National Qualifications Credit gained for a standard may be used only once to meet the requirements of this qualification. Unit standards and achievement standards that are equivalent in outcome are mutually exclusive for the purpose of award. The table of mutually exclusive standards is provided on the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) website: http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualifications-standards/standards/standards-exclusion-list/. Reviewed standards that continue to recognise the same overall outcome are registered as new versions and retain their identification number (ID). Any version of a standard with the same ID may be used to meet qualification requirements that list the ID and/or that specify the past or current classification of the standard.
