WSQ Higher Certificate in Aerospace Maintenance

To attain the WSQ Higher Certificate in Aerospace Maintenance for Technicians, a trainee must complete the full set of skills assessment and/or training in the sub-sector he is specialising in - modules across the three categories of Industry Core, Sector Core and Specialisation Electives. The number of modules leading to the technician qualification will be 5 and 4, for the Avionics and non- Avionics sectors respectively.
 

For example, a trainee specialising in the Aircraft Maintenance (Mechanical) sub-sector must undergo the following modules in order to obtain the WSQ Higher Certificate in Aerospace Maintenance: a)    Industry Core:                 Perform Basic Aircraft Safety Practices and Documentation b)    Sector Core:                   Perform Aircraft General Maintenance Activities c)    Specialisation Elective:    Choose 2 units from a range of elective modules

The WSQ Higher Certificate in Aerospace Maintenance can be obtained via the Training and Assessment Pathway or via Assessment-Only-Pathway. For Assessment-Only-Pathway, trainees undertake assessment without going through training. This helps to save time and resources if trainees already have the necessary prior experience and skills and just need to certify their skills. Participating companies / candidates must register for the designated training courses. Upon completion and passing the prescribed tests, trainees will receive the nationally-recognised certificate.
