Strategic purpose statement
The purpose of this qualification is to provide the aeronautical
engineering industry with graduates who are able to carry out the
production control function specific to an aeronautical
engineering environment.
The qualification is intended for learners who are experienced
aeronautical engineers and who want to broaden their work role
to encompass the production control function.
The aeronautical engineering sector of the aviation industry will
benefit through employing staff with the knowledge and skills to
effectively and efficiently manage production processes.
Graduates of this qualification will be equipped with a
comprehensive set of skills required to carry out the
administration and management of aeronautical engineering
production control for an aviation engineering organisation.
Outcome Statement
Graduate profile

Graduates of this qualification will be able to:
-
initiate and conclude an aeronautical engineering activity to
accomplish the scheduled maintenance requirements
ensuring all specified policies, practices and procedures are
complied with
-
verify and analyse aircraft defect information, and action
aircraft defect procedures to control the rectification of
aircraft defects, in order to meet specified requirements
-
establish and control the quality of aeronautical engineering
production activities through the use of inspections and/or
quality control checks, to ensure compliance with legislative
demands and enterprise procedures in the aeronautical
workplace.

Education pathway
This qualification can pathway from the various New Zealand
certificates and diplomas in Aeronautical Engineering.
Pathway qualifications include:

New Zealand Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering (Quality
Assurance) (Level 6) [Ref: 2905]

New Zealand Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering
(Technical Support) (Level 6) [Ref: 2906]

New Zealand Diploma in Maintenance Planning (Level 5)
[Ref: 2904]
Training progression beyond these specialist maintenance roles
is most likely to be in management or in-house training for
aircraft type specific training.
Employment pathway
Graduates will have the skills and knowledge to be employed
within a Production Control role. They may progress into other
Aeronautical Engineering roles such as Technical Support,
Quality Assurance, and Engineering Planning
