After completing a Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME), graduates must obtain a license from a recognized aviation regulatory authority, such as the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India, to work as certified aircraft maintenance engineers. The licensing process typically involves passing a series of examinations that test the candidate's theoretical knowledge and practical skills in aircraft maintenance.
This certification ensures that maintenance engineers are qualified to perform their duties according to industry standards. The license is mandatory for individuals seeking employment in the aviation industry, as it verifies their competence and adherence to safety regulations.
