Frequently asked questions

Does completing the AMT diploma qualify me for a DGCA AME license?
The Tiger Wings AMT diploma is a foundation qualification — it is NOT a direct replacement for DGCA AME licence training at an approved ATO. The AME licence requires specific DGCA-approved ATO (Approved Training Organisation) training in your chosen category (A, B1, B2, or C). However, TWA-005 provides the theoretical foundation that makes ATO training significantly more effective, and is a documented credential that demonstrates commitment to the MRO pathway.
The AMT curriculum covers systems and principles applicable to both piston engine aircraft (Cessna 172 context for basic powerplant) and commercial jet aircraft (A320/B737 systems context for advanced modules). The focus is on underlying principles — hydraulics, electrics, pressurisation, avionics — rather than type-specific maintenance manuals. Type-specific training happens at airline MROs and ATOs after the foundational diploma.
Yes. Module 6 is dedicated entirely to workshop practicals — torque application, safety wiring, lubrication, component identification, avionics rack familiarisation, and wiring harness work. Students also conduct a supervised visit to an MRO facility for live line maintenance, heavy check, and engine run observation. Safety is paramount — all workshop work follows shadowed toolbox and tool control protocols.
The Tiger Wings AMT diploma is an NSDC-affiliated industry foundation qualification. It is not itself a DGCA-issued document, but it is designed to align with DGCA’s recommended pre-entry knowledge for AME training organisations. DGCA itself does not approve AMT diplomas — it approves the ATO (Approved Training Organisation) where the formal AME licence training occurs. Tiger Wings documents are used to demonstrate prior learning when approaching ATOs.

We are a premier aviation training institute dedicated to shaping the next generation of industry leaders. With over two decades of experience, we provide an unparalleled educational experience designed for ambition.
