AEROMEDICAL EXAMINER (aME) CERTIFICATION TRAINING

Aspiring AMEs can undergo mandatory training at Birmingham Aeromedical Centre (AeMC) in support of their UK CAA AME approval process.

The CAA has outlined its criteria for AME approval and the final stage is for the aspiring AME to complete 5 days of Mandatory Training at an AeMC before AME approval can be granted.

Before arranging this training, the AME MUST obtain a confirmatory letter from the CAA and attach send this to Birmingham AeMC when they schedule training.

The 5 days of training DO NOT necessarily have to be done over consecutive days but should ideally be completed within one month.

The CAA criteria for AME approval can be found here: https://www.caa.co.uk/aeromedical-examiners/certification-training-and-policy/guidance-on-ame-certification/
