What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Short-Term Certificate)

  • Basic hand tools and soldering irons — identify and handle under direct supervision during introductory aircraft electrical assembly tasks.
  • Circuit testers and voltmeters — apply to perform simple continuity checks on avionics components under technician guidance in a maintenance bay.
  • Wiring diagrams and blueprints — read and interpret basic schematics to locate specified components under close supervision on a training aircraft.
  • Maintenance log entries — record routine inspection findings using standard forms under direct oversight in an FAA-regulated repair facility.
  • Electrical and electronic components — install prefabricated assemblies into aircraft panels using hand tools following step-by-step procedural checklists.
  • Safety protocols and personal protective equipment — follow established procedures to protect personnel and equipment in a live avionics shop environment.
  • Junction boxes and switch assemblies — assemble discrete subcomponents using hand tools and soldering irons under mentor direction on the bench.
  • Ground support test equipment — set up under supervision and observe functional checks of basic electrical systems on parked aircraft.
  • Technical manuals and maintenance documentation — locate and reference relevant sections to support assigned repair tasks in a structured training environment.
  • Component identification skills — recognize and classify common avionics parts such as inverters, magnetos, and connectors during guided shop orientation.
