Category B licences are aimed at line maintenance. They can also be used within base maintenance, in inspection or supervisory roles.

To be eligible for a licence, an individual must have completed the relevant modular examinations and have a prescribed period of aircraft maintenance experience.

A minimum of Grade C GCSE’s or equivalent in maths and a science subject is required. Practical maintenance experience will also be a benefit, in both assisting understanding and ensuring all experience requirements will be fulfilled within the specified 5 year period.

The wider responsibilities of the Category B technician requires a more detailed knowledge than for Category A and, hence, a longer period of experience. Find out more about knowledge levels here.
