Foundation Degree & EASA Pt 66 Course in Aircraft Engineering (FDEng)

This two-year vocational programme is the only degree course in Europe that helps students work towards the EASA Pt 66 aircraft engineering licence and professional engineer status.   The course starts every September and it is intended to start an additional new course on 7th February 2005 (subject to validation).

• On successful completion of the course you will be ready to work on aircraft, and after two years you will be eligible to apply for the EASA Pt 66 B1-Licence. This is a prerequisite needed before you will be allowed to sign off aircraft for flight following line-rectification and maintenance tasks.
  
  
• Studying on the degree course is a fast route towards gaining your Licence. Without the CAA Approved EASA Pt 66 Course, earning the Licence can take years longer and cost you thousands more in tuition fees. On successful completion of the course, you’ll have the option of taking on employment whilst studying part time for a BEng(Hons) in Aircraft Engineering, which will give you professional status.
  
  
• When you have gained the EASA Pt 66 B1-Licence, a further three years’ experience can lead to the EASA Pt 66 C-Licence - the most advanced qualification. With this you will be able to release an aircraft for flight after full base maintenance.
