Top Aircraft Maintainance Engineering Universities/Colleges in Malaysia
Licensed individuals who responsible in ensuring that aircraft are airworthy in accordance with local and international aviation standards, these professionals are commonly known as the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME).
Most people become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer by attending a Certified School registered under the National Airworthiness Authority of that country. In what is typically an 18 to 24 month program, they must learn everything that is required for maintenance of a typical airplane. This is followed by an apprenticeship period which usually takes a minimum of 4 years. (Depending on the school attended, a portion of that time may count towards their apprenticeship.)
Students attend approved training 9 weeks a year over a period of 4 years while the student works in industry, on-job training (OJT). This allows the apprentice to complete their training and apprenticeship virtually at the same time.
AMEs must also learn all of the sections of the Local Aviation Regulations which pertain to them. Once the AME has completed this and pass the necessary exams, the AME will be given a Licence Without Type Rating (LWTR) for the relevant trade. In order to be type certified/type rated, AMEs must either go for another exam with the Local Aviation Authority for a specific type aircraft, normally small aircraft (based on aircraft weight); or attend a course and exam with the Quality Assurance Department of an Approved Organization/Airlines, normally for larger aircraft.
The different categories/trades are:
- Airframe structures
- Electrical systems
- Instruments systems
- Automatic pilots system
- Radio communication system
- Radio navigation system
- Radar system
- In-flight entertainment (IFE) system
- Engine system
- Propeller system
Also, in time, AMEs can advance and diverse to other sides of aircraft maintenance engineering, such as to quality assurance department as inspectors, to maintenance planning department, and so on. Source

Hi, I would like to continue my study in Aircraft Maintenace as I dont have enough money to do piloting. Now, I’ve been receiving Nilai College’s brosure about this course from last month, the problem is, I dont know the ranking of this Nilai College. And whether the certificate issued by the college has its value.
Thanx
@ mohamed nurhanis
Well for your information, this UC has just been rated under the ‘Very Good’ category in a rating exercise which known as SETARA ’09 [?], and furthermore, the mentioned course, DIPLOMA IN AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING is recognized by the government as well.
Whereas for certificate’s value, this diploma course is incorporating the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) [?] syllabus, hence, graduate should possess rich knowledge which sought by employer.
Well, dnest aviation in subang airport area also offering aircraft maintenance licence program. check it out, because you will be studying in the aviation environment.
hi,i would like 2 continue my futher studies in aircraft maintenance.so i have some question regarding this course.first of all i want to know that in malaysia how is the future for tis career.then i have plan 2 do diploma in nilai university college.so i want to knw that this nilai university college is recognized by malaysia goverment or not.i oso wan to know tat cn i continue master or phd in tis field.cn i continue my master or phd in tis nilai university college?
futhermore sure i cn get job in malaysia if i continue my futher studies in this diploma?
thank you.
is international college of yayasan melaka’s licence recognised?is it EASA?
Hi, i would like to take licensed aircraft maintenance engineering a my career…and currently, i`m now under the scholarship which only offers mechanical, chemical and electrical course…
Is aircraft maintenance engineering is under `mechanical engineering`??
and what is the diffrnce btween aircraft maintenance and aeronautical engineering???
can i continue aeronautical engineering/aircraft maintenance in the master after ive graduated for degree in mechanical engineering?
Dnest maintenance training academy if im not mistaken is for FELDA people due to its collaboration with MAS, correct me if im wrong. one thing about aircraft training maintenance school is that they are no such thing as the ‘best’ school at all. If some1 asked me which is the best school, my answer would be to join up courses offered by MAS, AirAsia.. an aircraft operator *airliner* is still the best place to get urself with approved aircraft licensed.
one problem for all the training school mentioned including KYM Intnl are at the end of the course which is to get a type rating. there is no way for the school to give u a type rating unless they have a live aircraft that flies. only an airliner has dat. for more info, go to flylah.com
Hallo sir.now im doing level 3 in ADVANCE AERONAUTICS TRAINING CENTRE. so my question is which collage can i do diploma in aircraft engineering?
hei,,, my nephew who is a Singaporean is hoping to find a suitable college and facilities to study aircraft engineering or pilot,,, is it possible for a singaporean to do so in malaysia
hye.. i just want 2 know.. what the different between
Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Technology (Composite)
Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Technology (Manufacturing)
Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Technology (Avionics).. anyone can explain 4 me??
Quote shahidah
Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Technology (Composite)
- composite materials and components of material based like aircraft structure, interior and exterior
Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Technology (Manufacturing)
- manufacturing in aircraft maintenace would involve parts, components and assembly of moving and non-moving parts within an aircraft
Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Technology (Avionics)..
- avionics is the electrics, communication and electronics within an aircraft system.
Advise to check the programme and syllabus before enrolling. It is critical to know that the laboratory and workshops are equipped with the relevant and updated industrial based equipment.
[...] often informally called rocket science. Note: Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering is not similar to aircraft maintainance engineering. referenceBelow is a list of universities where you can study aerospace/aeronautical engineering in [...]
hey…i wanna know about the career prospect after doing aircraft maintenance engineering and can i work for airasia or MAS
n…..
is it better to do aeronautical engineering or AME based on job opportunity
hello .i have (747 -300&200&100&sp)also (737 )ALSO (MD 82-83)MECHANIC B1 CERTIFICATED . HOW CAN I CHANGE IRANIAN DOCUMENT TO INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENT .THANKS
Dear, Nizam,
Dnest Aviation Training Centre, FYI, is not in collaboration with any company. It has 3 hangars of its own, housing more than 20 over private and corporate jets. It has more than 20 Years experience in aviation. AND it is NOT just for FELDA students. we offer CAAi UK EASA part 66 courses and in process of acquiring a college status. They also have recently signed a MoU with a UK University for degree courses and that University is a EASA Part-147 certified university which allow their students to complete 2-3yrs of academic training and 2-3yrs of work schedule. At Nilai UC, u need to comple 3 yrs of education and 5 yrs of work experience. The MoU dnest signed with the UK university will come in effect once they have got their college status, which i think should be next year Jan (not sure). Then, the degree cert will be issued by UK not Dnest.
Pls get ur facts right before commenting in the future. tq.
how much is the cost to attend the aircraft maintainance?
my brother is very interested to join but if the cost is sky high he will totally in dept for many years, so we feel a bit burden about it.
when is the next enroll time?
Course fee and requirement of admission
