Strategic purpose statement
The purpose of this qualification is to provide the aeronautical
engineering industry with graduates who have gained knowledge
and skills in the specialist role of aeronautical storekeeping. They
will be able to work with aviation parts and/or materials which
require evidence of authenticity and traceability to the
manufacturer prior to their release for use on aircraft, required for
an operator working under either, the New Zealand Defence
Force Airworthiness Policy, or Part 19 F, Part 145, Part 146,
and/or Part 148 of the Civil Aviation Rules 1990.
This qualification is intended for learners who are planning to
embark on a career in the aviation industry as an aeronautical
storekeeper.
The aeronautical engineering sector of the aviation industry will
benefit through employment of staff knowledgeable and capable
of working effectively to maintain availability and provide stock of
equipment and components.
Graduates will be capable of carrying out storekeeping duties
specifically in an aeronautical engineering workplace under
limited supervision.
