Overview
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers certify that an aircraft is safe to fly. It is one of the most respected — and most in-demand — careers in aviation, and the EASA Part-66 licence is recognised by operators and maintenance organisations far beyond Europe.
The route runs through an EASA Part-147 approved training organisation: you complete the basic training modules for your licence category, pass the module examinations, and build the required practical experience on real aircraft. Our team includes EASA Part-66 specialists who know the module structure, the examinations and the experience requirements in detail.
We help you choose the right category, the right Part-147 school (including combined degree + licence options), and prepare you before you leave so the first semester is not a shock.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between B1 and B2?
B1 covers mechanical systems — structures, engines and electrical systems — on aeroplanes (B1.1) or helicopters (B1.3). B2 covers avionics: instruments, communication, navigation and autoflight systems.
Is an EASA licence valid outside Europe?
The EASA Part-66 licence is widely recognised by airlines and MROs in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, and is often the benchmark for local licence conversion.
Can I get a degree at the same time?
Yes — several institutions offer a bachelor's degree integrated with Part-66 basic training. We help you compare them.
