Frequently asked questions about regulatory training in aeronautics
-
Which organizations are authorized to deliver these training courses?
Regulatory aeronautical training courses may be delivered by approved organizations or specialized providers, depending on their nature.
For basic training and Part-66 type qualifications, a Part-147 approval is generally required, subject to the exceptions provided for by the regulations. By contrast, Part-145 continuing training, EWIS, human factors or SMS courses may be provided by specialized organizations without Part-147 approval.
Bureau Veritas is one of the specialized organizations offering training on EASA and EMAR aviation regulations, as well as on sector quality standards. These programs allow professionals to develop and update their skills, without necessarily issuing a license or regulatory authorization. -
Can regulatory aeronautical training be followed remotely?
Yes, certain regulatory aeronautical training courses can be followed remotely, in particular via video conference, when their content and the applicable requirements allow it.
Bureau Veritas offers custom remote training courses, adapted to the needs of organizations and the constraints of their teams. The arrangements depend on the chosen program, as some courses may require practical exercises or an in-person assessment. -
Which regulations and standards govern aeronautical training courses?
In the aeronautical sector, several frameworks govern the design, production, maintenance and operation of aircraft. Some impose obligations, while others define management and continuous improvement practices.
EASA European requirements
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) contributes to the development of a common regulatory framework aimed at ensuring the safety of civil aviation in Europe. This framework specifies in particular the skills, qualifications and training required.
The main frameworks concerned are:
- Part-145 : framework applicable to organizations maintaining aircraft and their equipment.
- Part-M and Part-CAMO : rules relating to the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and its management.
- Part-21 : rules relating to the design and production of aircraft, their parts and equipment.
- Part-66 and Part-147 : rules relating to aircraft maintenance licensing and approved training organizations.
- Air OPS (Part-ORO, Part-CAT): rules governing aircraft operators and commercial air transport operations, particularly regarding the training of operational personnel.
Military regulations and aeronautical quality standards
In addition to EASA requirements, the aeronautical sector relies on military-specific frameworks and international quality management standards.
The main frameworks concerned are:
- EMAR 21 : framework relating to the certification, design and production of military aircraft.
- EMAR 145 : rules applicable to organizations maintaining military aircraft.
- EMAR M : framework relating to the continuing airworthiness of military aircraft.
- EMAR 66 and EMAR 147 : military maintenance licenses and associated training organizations.
- EN 9100 : quality management standard applicable to organizations in the aeronautical, space and defense sectors.
- EN 9110 : quality management standard for aviation maintenance organizations.
- EN 9120 : quality management standard for distributors of aeronautical parts and components.
Mastering these frameworks contributes to maintaining the compliance of military activities and to improving quality practices across the entire aeronautical value chain.
-
Is training mandatory and how often must it be renewed?
Certain aeronautical training courses are mandatory, but the renewal frequency depends on the applicable regulations and the functions performed.
For example, Part-145 requires continuing training over a two-year period for the certifying and support staff concerned. Part-CAMO also provides for initial and recurrent training, without setting a single periodicity for all personnel.
Organizations must therefore adapt their training plan to regulatory obligations and to the skills to be maintained. -
Is Bureau Veritas aeronautical training certifying or diploma-awarding?
Bureau Veritas aeronautical training courses are primarily intended for the development and updating of professional skills. They are not systematically certifying or diploma-awarding.
A training certificate may be issued upon completion of the course, depending on the arrangements provided. This document confirms attendance but does not constitute a license or regulatory authorization.
To find out which certifications or certificates are issued, please check the conditions of the chosen program with Bureau Veritas. -
What are the costs and funding options?
The cost of aeronautical training varies depending on the program, its duration, the number of participants and the organizational arrangements (in-person, remote or custom).
For employees, funding may be provided by the employer under the skills development plan, with possible coverage by an OPCO (Skills Operator), subject to certain conditions. The Personal Training Account (CPF) may also be used for eligible programs.
Bureau Veritas offers inter-company and custom training courses, whose rates can be consulted in the catalog or requested from its teams.
