Students with a propensity for math and physics may enjoy pursuing training in avionics engineering. Programs in this field can offer courses on CAD and manufacture of parts, troubleshooting mechanical or electronic problems, and aircraft maintenance.

A course is the study of a particular topic within a wider subject area and is the foundation of a qualification. A typical course includes lectures, assessments and tutorials.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
