This course provides a comprehensive introduction to EASA Part 145, the regulation that governs maintenance organisations approved to work on complex aircraft. It is designed for certifying staff, support staff, planners, and managers who need to understand how the regulation shapes their daily responsibilities. The training takes a practical approach, showing not just what the rules say, but how they apply to real maintenance environments.

The course begins with the regulatory framework, outlining the relationship between the Basic Regulation, EU 1321/2014, and Part 145. You’ll see how Part 145 fits within the wider system of continuing airworthiness, and why it matters for both individual engineers and the organisation as a whole. This ensures you understand the context before diving into the details.

From there, the training explores the scope and approval process, looking at how organisations apply for and maintain Part 145 approval. You’ll learn about requirements for facilities, personnel, tools, and maintenance data, and how these elements contribute to a safe and compliant working environment.

The course also covers key responsibilities of staff and management, including competence, certification, occurrence reporting, and quality systems. It explains the requirements for competence assessment, human factors training, and continuation training, ensuring that both technical and organisational aspects of safety are addressed. By connecting regulation to real-world roles, the course highlights how engineers and managers alike play a part in compliance.

Finally, the training introduces the Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE) and the privileges and limitations of Part 145 organisations. By the end, participants will understand how Part 145 approval underpins safe, efficient, and legally compliant maintenance operations — and how their role contributes to making it all work in practice.
