AME Licensing Courses

Queensland Aerospace College's AME Licensing courses are designed around the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA)'s Syllabus of Examination for the AME Licences. The type of CASA AME Licence (Electrical, Instrument, Radio, Airframe and Engine) you wish to obtain will therefore determine the AME Course and Examination that must be sat. To find out more information regarding CASA AME Licence requirements, please visit CASA's website for information and contact details.

Queensland Aerospace Colleges’ AME Licensing courses are usually held over a one week period, with classes operating 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday. Some AME Licensing courses, in particular “BC”, “FG”, “FI” and “WA1” are held over a two week period with classes operating 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. The course costs range from $375.00 for a one week course to $650.00 for a two week course, with all manuals included.

With regards to the CASA Examinations, students who study an AME Licensing course at Queensland Aerospace College have the privilege of sitting that CASA Examination at a SPECIAL Sitting on the Saturday after the course has been completed. Queensland Aerospace Colleges organises the CASA Examination on your behalf and then on the Monday of Course commencement, you fill in a CASA Examination Application Form which then is forwarded to CASA. Payments for the CASA Examination Fee of $100.00 must be in the form of a cheque, money order or credit card and are paid directly to CASA. Please note that the CASA Examination Fee of $100.00 and the Supervisor Fee of $15.00 are additional charges.
