DGCA tries to make engineers airworthy ahead of int'l audit

From the news report
...... Bhullar has worked out a six-month programme for these yet-to-be-airworthy AOs where they will undergo three-month classroom sessions by NIAMAR. They will then spend the remaining three months with AI engineering for practical training on aircraft.

“At the end of this programme, the 120 AOs will get a certificate, which should hopefully pass international scrutiny ,“ said a source. "

What is the practice elsewhere ?
Do electrical and mechanical engineers "certify" air-worthiness of an aircraft ?
I'm curious ....

So after 9 months of training these "inspectors" will be checking the work done by real, experienced AME's who have ve been repairing aircraft for years? What could possibly go wrong? and as an anecdotal comment........"that's just a small fuel leak on that F20, here's 500 R and we will fix it later!"

From the news report
" ..... DGCA chief B S Bhullar, who is preparing the illequipped DGCA for yet another international audit later this year, is learnt to have tied up with Air India engineering and Airport Authority of India's (AAI) National Institute of Aviation Management & Research (NIAMAR) for training the AOs. ....

God help the Auditors who are slated to visit India for an audit of "calibre" of the Indian Aviation in general and of DGCA (the Indian counterpart of FAA) in particular.
