After SPM or O-Level, you can either take a Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance or preuniversity or foundation course, which will lead you to a degree. Upon completing your Diploma or Degree in Aircraft Maintenance, you can pursue a professional aircraft maintenance qualification (e.g. CAAM Part-66 AML to work in Malaysia, EASA Part-66 AML for Europe, etc.) to be able to certify the airworthiness of an aircraft. This can be done either full-time or part-time while working and gaining practical experience. Note that the CAAM Part-66 licence is only valid max for 5 years and is subject to renewal.
