Applied Diploma in Aerospace Maintenance (ADAM)

Course details

Applied Diploma in Aerospace Maintenance (ADAM) is developed to meet the industry’s need for more non-certifying aerospace technicians. It was contextualized to comply partially with the SAR-66 Category A syllabus prescribed by CAAS for Aircraft Maintenance Licensing. The contextualization also incorporates elements for WDA’s aviation-related Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) competency units in the programme. Applicants must meet the attendance requirement of 85% per module before they can sit for their examination.
