AET Certification & Endorsement Exams
Advance your career and industry knowledge by earning a
certification provided by ASTM's National Center for Aerospace &
Transportation Technologies. These certifications demonstrate the
knowledge base of the advanced aerospace technician and promote
integrity, safety, and professionalism in the aerospace workforce.
Repair stations and aviation maintenance professionals across
the industry use these certifications to recognize qualified and
competent individuals. In fact, the FAA formally recognizes the AET
certification as equivalent to formal training when showing eligibility
for the issuance of a repairman certificate. Exams are free for AEA
Convention attendees, courtesy of the AEA Educational Foundation.

Managing Risk: Fundamental to today's aviation safety philosophy,
understanding how to manage and mitigate risk is required to effectively
operate a modern repair station and an essential element of SMS. This
session will provide the understanding of the risk management process
and provide you with the tools to effectively and efficiently incorporate
risk management into your everyday operations.
Human Factors in Maintenance: Most maintenance errors trace their
origins to some compromise in human factors. This session will
investigate the fundamentals of human failure and identify opportunities
to improve productivity as well as workplace health and safety.
AEA Safety Management System: The international interest in
implementing an effective SMS program continues to grow throughout
the aviation maintenance sector with many countries either already
mandating an SMS program or are on " short-final " to implementing a
new regulatory mandate. This session will provide an overview of the
AEA SMS program and how it helps you to cost-effectively establish and
operate your safety management system.
