CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness) Course
Online course of 300 hours in CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness), structured in 6 modules covering continuing airworthiness in Europe, the CAMO organisation, the maintenance programme, technical fleet management and the airworthiness review, with an assigned technical tutor.
CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness) Course — studying from Malta
Malta's aerospace activity is concentrated around Malta International Airport at Luqa, where aircraft maintenance, cabin interiors and aviation services form a significant part of the local economy. The island's aviation sector is supported by a long-established regulatory framework and a growing interest in drone operations and advanced air mobility. Engineers here commonly find work with aircraft maintenance organisations, aviation services providers and companies engaged in unmanned systems testing. Expertise in airworthiness, systems integration and regulatory compliance is particularly valued by employers operating within this niche but internationally connected market.
Fees for Malta: €448 (Euro), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Malta
Which professional bodies in Malta recognise engineers working in aerospace, UAM, drones and space, and how does that affect my title?
Malta's Chamber of Engineers (KSU) regulates the use of the title 'engineer' under the Engineering Profession Act. Aviation safety is overseen by the Malta Competition and Consumers Affairs Authority's aviation counterpart, Transport Malta's Civil Aviation Directorate, which licenses operators and certain technical staff. A private SEIUM qualification does not itself grant a regulated title; recognition depends on the employer or the relevant body.
Which employers in Malta might hire someone with an aerospace or drone engineering background?
Malta has an aviation sector centred on Malta International Airport, aircraft maintenance and MRO activity, and a growing drone and space-related presence at the University of Malta and in private firms. Employers vary in their hiring criteria. A private qualification can support a application, but employers will weigh it against experience and any formal credentials they require.
Can I realistically study this 1,900-hour programme while working full time in Malta, and do I need a visa?
Programmes are fully online and taught in English, so you can study from home in Malta or elsewhere without a student visa. Each student gets an assigned technical tutor. Workload should be planned around your job; 1,900 hours is substantial, so most working professionals spread it over a long period. Ask about employer sponsorship and instalment fee options before enrolling.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, making it compatible with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulation and applied exercises. The working software is AMOS, TRAX, Rusada ENVISION and CAMP Systems, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practical work is based on real procedures for drafting continuing airworthiness management expositions, controlling airworthiness directives and service bulletins, and simulated airworthiness reviews. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final project.
Standards covered: Regulation (EU) 1321/2014, Annex Vc Part-CAMO, Annex I Part-M, Annex II Part-145, Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, ATA MSG-3, Regulation (EU) 376/2014, Regulation (EU) 965/2012.
