Welcome to the Aircraft Maintenance program

The AM program was developed to address the primary need for aircraft maintenance in an expanding commercial aviation market. There has been and increasing demand for commercial aviation worldwide and particularly in the UAE mandated by airline companies’ keen interest in increasing their fleets of aircrafts and registering an unprecedented growth in this sector of transportation. The airline’s fleets require a considerable amount of human resources that are versed in this high-tech industry to manage its growth.

ADPoly’s AM program was developed to provide the UAE’s needed national expertise in aircraft engineering technologies. ADPoly’s AM programs provides internationally (approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency-EASA) and nationally approved (Approved by the General Civil Aviation Authority of the UAE) Ab/Initio training in basic aircraft maintenance technologies. These approvals lead to industry required licensing. Additionally, the AM program is a Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research’s accredited three years’ Higher Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance. The accredited program embeds the requirements of EASA’s/GCAA’s Ab/Initio training under part 66/CAR 66 Category A1.

Graduates are eligible to apply for EASA’s and GCAA’s category A “Maintenance Certifying Mechanic License” after completing the Ab/Initio training requirements along with a one year of relevant industrial experience. This license is the key for work in civil aviation on commercial aircraft at any recognized or approved maintenance facility, worldwide.
