Aeromedical Examiners (AMEs) are doctors with specialist aviation medicine training. They are certificated by the CAA to carry out aircrew and air traffic controller medical examinations and to give aviation medicine advice, as necessary.
There are two certification types, based on the training and experience level of the AME. These determine which class of certificate (professional, private and/or ATCO) they can assess.
‘1’ rated AMEs – can undertake Class 1, 2, 3 and LAPL revalidation / renewal and initial Class 2 and LAPL medical assessments;
‘2’ rated AMEs – can undertake Class 2 and LAPL initial/revalidation/renewal medical certificates.

The major outcome of the course is that participants will better appreciate the aviation environment and its impact on various clinical conditions.
A comprehensive span of topics will be covered to enable Aviation Medical Examiners to undertake the responsibilities on behalf of their respective State’s Authorities in respect with applicable medical standards in the interest of safety.
The Aviation Medicine Courses provide the latest medical and technical information and clinical techniques in the various medical fields and specialties to assist and improve the proficiency of AME’s in their regular practice.
