Your expertise in maintaining complex aircraft electrical and radio systems is vital to aviation safety. We are currently identifying RTO partners who understand the rigour of avionics maintenance to provide a fair recognition pathway for this qualification. Register your interest to be notified when we can guide your experience toward formal recognition.
About This Qualification
This qualification applies to employees of Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisations (CAMOs) or to members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) who perform scheduled inspections, fault diagnosis and repair, and modification of aircraft electrical, instrument and radio systems and system components. The qualification is suitable for delivery as an apprenticeship and may apply either to aircraft maintenance performed on flight lines/ramps and in hangars or to avionic component repair and overhaul performed in workshops. These outcomes are defined in two streams: aircraft maintenance streamcomponent maintenance workshop stream. The qualification consists of: common units that apply to all Aeroskills specialist streams at Certificate III and IV levelsavionic technical stream units relating to either aircraft avionic system and component maintenance or to component repair and overhaulone mechanical technical stream unit that is applicable to the aircraft maintenance streamone imported unit that is applicable to the aircraft maintenance stream. Because of the wide application of this qualification, there is considerable flexibility in the selection of technical stream units and individuals should be mindful of their future career aspirations when selecting units for, in particular, the aircraft maintenance stream. Provided that the correct elective units are selected, the qualification articulates with the Diploma of Aeroskills (Avionics), which qualifies individuals for the grant by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of a B2 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License. The qualification also provides credits towards the MEA50422 Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management and the MEA60222 Advanced Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Management.

Could RPL Be Right for You?
Experience can be evidence.
RPL is the process that helps you demonstrate it.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates the skills, knowledge, and experience you've gained through your career to determine whether you meet the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification. It isn't a shortcut — it applies the same assessment standards as any other pathway.
RPL typically involves:
A review of your work experience against the qualification requirements
Compilation of an evidence portfolio demonstrating your competency
Assessment by a qualified assessor from a Registered Training Organisation
If gaps are identified, targeted training to build on your existing expertise
ℹ️ Important Pathway Advice
RPL isn't the right pathway for everyone. If you don't have substantial, relevant, and current industry experience, a traditional study pathway may serve you better.
Our approach:
“We'd rather guide you to the right pathway than enrol you in the wrong one.”
What Kind of Experience Counts?
If RPL becomes available for this qualification, the types of experience and evidence that would typically be relevant include:
Work History & Roles
- ✓Detailed CV outlining years in CAMO or ADF environments
- ✓Position descriptions for avionics maintenance roles
- ✓Records of previous technical training or apprenticeships
Technical Documentation
- ✓Aircraft maintenance logs and industry documentation
- ✓Release to service records and compliance reports
- ✓Work orders and scheduled inspection checklists
Diagnostic & Repair Evidence
- ✓Fault diagnosis logs for electrical and radio systems
- ✓Electrical test equipment calibration and usage records
- ✓Repair worksheets for avionic components and hardware
Safety & Quality Standards
- ✓WHS incident reports and safety meeting minutes
- ✓Quality standard compliance logs for aviation maintenance
- ✓Records of environmentally sustainable work practices
This is general guidance based on training.gov.au. Specific requirements will be confirmed by the delivering RTO's assessor when RPL becomes available.
