- CAMC certifications – focus on Quality Systems Auditor
- Overview of how and why certification work What is CAMC Certification?
The Canadian Aviation Maintenance Council is the only nationally recognized occupation-certifying body representing the aviation/aerospace industry. Certification is documented proof that an individual has met the requirements of a particular occupation and possesses the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities for the job. Each applicant begins to document competencies in a CAMC logbook which describes in detail all the tasks and sub-tasks required. The applicant works through the tasks in the logbook, demonstrating competencies in each one to an independent CAMC-approved evaluator, who then signs it off. When the applicant has fulfilled all the requirements for certification, they submit the completed logbook to CAMC, who issues certification upon review and approval. Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs) who can provide a current Transport Canada license and resume can request to be certified without the requirement of a CAMC logbook.Why Certify?
Certification provides documented national recognition of knowledge, skills and abilities (competencies) in a specified occupation. It also provides credentials and proof of qualifications, enabling portability of skills, demonstrating that the individual is a career-long learner and identifying them as a professional. Ultimately, industry values certification because it provides a standard benchmark of skills and facilitates an employer's recruitment process. CAMC’s SMS logo indicates a series of quality products that are linked to the appropriate occupational standard or industry best practice. This presentation will include a discussion on the Quality Systems Auditor Occupational Standard and the importance of auditing as part of any Quality control system. | | |
