Course overview

The units of competency in this qualification are a mix of:

  • structures technical stream units relating to aircraft surface finishing
  • imported automotive units relating to the application of paint finishes.

This qualification fully articulates with the MEA40922 Certificate IV in Aircraft Surface Finishing and the common units provide a number of credits towards other Aeroskills qualifications at Certificate III and IV levels.

This qualification applies to workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Defence Aviation Safety Authority (DASA) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Any regulatory/licensing requirements associated with any MEA units of competency must be met.
