twenty four (24) common units and three (3) imported units, seventeen (17) of which are elective, that provide general competencies applicable to aviation maintenance managers

With regard to the employability skills, due to the high proportion of electives required by this qualification, the industry/enterprise requirements described for each employability skill are representative of the aviation maintenance industry in general and may not reflect specific job roles.
