Aircraft Engineering FdEng

About

This course is a progression programme and is specifically designed to help meet the growing need for skilled aircraft maintenance engineers. As part of the programme, you will gain the knowledge requirements for the EASA Part 66 B1.1 licence. You will also receive practical hand skills training in the purpose-built basic workshop facilities.

This course is designed to produce licensed aircraft maintenance engineers with the capacity to progress onto the BEng (Hons) top-up course, obtain an honours degree and become aircraft maintenance managers of the future.

The course introduces students to aircraft engineering hand and maintenance skills and provides them with opportunities to put the skills into practice. It also introduces the study skills necessary for successful completion of the course in the first year and develops and expands these skills in the second year to prepare the students for progression to the top-up.

This course is taught at Exeter College and awarded by Kingston University.
