AME Syllabus & Modules

The duration of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering is 3 years which constitutes academic programs and practical training. DGCA (Govt of India) is the regulatory body which conducts the modules in academic years. The candidate has to clear all the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Modules and training to get the AME license. There are a total of 17 modules, but candidates have to clear the modules depending upon the chosen stream.

In India, Module 1 and Module 2 are not applicable because the candidate has already studied Mathematics and physics in 10+2 or equivalent.
