Airline / MRO Maintenance Training
Supporting a workforce of 3000 at Air New Zealand Technical Operations, and Line Maintenance activities around the world, the Aviation Institutes School of Engineering has a demanding role to play in Air New Zealands domestic and international operations. Geographic location and limited access to professional aircraft maintenance training in the region, has resulted in extensive investment in in-house capability. Individuals are able to join programmes being delivered for the Air New Zealand Group, or companies with larger training needs can request specific training courses be held for their staff.
In addition to the overview information provided below, more course specific information including pre-requisites, syllabus, and dates if scheduled are available from the Open Courses section on the School of Engineering home page.
Type Specific Training
Aircraft type courses (ATA104 L3) and familiarisation courses (ATA104 L1) are available for the following aircraft types. Simulator based Engine Ground Running and Systems training are available on simulators operated by the School of Flight*.
