subject: Aircraft Maintenance Engineering License Issued by the DGCA, is Recognized in Middle East Countries? [print this page] This is the common query all Aircraft Maintenance Engineering students has,
I am currently undergoing an apprentice program in India. will my license be recognized or do i have to appear for examinations there?
Here is the answer:
The U.A.E GCAA will almost certainly not validate it, and they also have a policy where they reserve the right not to validate any aircraft maintenance engineering license that is under 5 years old. So even if you do finish you apprenticeship, and even if they were to have a good day and accept an aircraft maintenance engineering license from India you may yet fall into the 5 years license holder rules.
If you do want to work in say Dubai and look for a position with Emirates I would suggest that you may want to look for a aircraft technicians position there and sit you GCAA exams as you can.
I do not want to sound too harsh or mean here but I would also suggest that you brush up on you written English. If you were to answer an exam question in English using the standard you demonstrate above you really will fail, regardless of the content of the answer.
That said good luck in making your way into the bigger world
Requirements for GCAA Examinations and Experience
To eligible the GCAA exams, have 3.5 years experience appropriate to the category that you have applied for, be over 21 and pay 200dhs for the exam.
When you apply they will ask for your training certificates and a record of experience,logbook and make sure DGCA is recognized there, because ON JOB TRAINING has to be done at a DGCA recognized country.
