ICAO Type II
I often see adverts asking for engineers with ICAO Type II licences. The only occurrence of the term "Type II" I can find in ICAO Annexe I related to maintenance licence is with regard to Panama's stipulations for AMEs.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

It's an international standard that a national license must meet to be included.
Try here (taken from ICAO's site)

Is my AME licence an ICAO Type II licence?
The Type I and Type II Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) licences have been superseded by a single AME licence since November 1998 (see Annex 1, Chapter 4, paragraph 4.2).

It wasn't a particularly stringent standard (FAA A&P make the grade obviously!
) and BCAR EASA etc meet and surpass the standard, it was just a level that international employers asked for to weed out bananna republic aplicants with comedic licenses.
Don't see it that much now, most ask for EASA or A&P now.

I have to be honest: I was playing Devil's Advocate. I just wondered why Type II is specified by organisations or those placing adverts when it was superseded as Vortechs says.

Unfortunately lots of decent engineer are overlooked for positions by these miscreants because they haven't submitted this weeks vogue CV template or turned up for an interview in sub designer suits.

Icao Type Ii
Hi,
holding an ICAO TYPE II license means you have your National aviation authority license with type rating to level III.
the appelation is no longer valid but companies still refer to it for job vacancies ....

I guess an easa engineer is supreme
ICAO type 2 license covers Australia, New Zealand as well! just for your info!
I don't think the guys down under really appreciate being called an inferior engineer.

I have both IACAO Type 2 and EASA 66. Basically only differrence is training. There is more electrical content in the training for an EASA licence. For ICAO Type 2 it's an ATA 104 level 3 course for EASA JAR/EASA 147 course. Also done a CASA licence as well. Had a BCAR Licence as well got the T shirt done the time. How one minute you can have approval/Licences and the next taken off you I cannot understand, progress 'sxxte' unless you're a 'Real' European and got you're EASA licence with you're box of Muesli.
Nice to see your still around Bus will need a HF course soon.

itwilldoatrip,
Drop us a mail about HF. I'm busy doing Part 145, Part M (mostly SP G & I) and some other consultancy stuff but I'm sure we'll find someone to do HF for you.
PS - send me a PM to remind me who you are!
Cheers!

Please provide accurate details of your ICAO type I/II interpretations.
>10 years ago, ICAO altered the definitions of all AME licences
into a single AME licence 'Type' - as Vortechs mentioned in Post #2.
Refer to the link below, it is clearly stated at the bottom of the page.
ICAO | FLS | FAQs
The continued use of the ICAO type II licence definition is surely
a sign that certain ICAO states, MRO QA Dept's and recruiting agencies need an initial or refresher course on Current Air legislation?
Just be greatful these clowns mostly don't perform actual maintenance tasks
BAe146???

I would suggest that it leaves you in dire need to read up on the fact that there is no such thing as an ICAO Type II anymore, it only changed 10 years ago, and wondering about your 147 really does question where you did it if you don't know were it stands in the scheme of things.

well lets put it this way....... I did read the entire thread pretty well.. And to your utter shock and surprise, my AME License says on its fist page that this is in conformation to ICAO type II standards....... thats one
For the 147, well, I did a A320 family T1 course at Airbus training India... and the certificate is EASA 147.. I hope you get what I'm trying to say now..

Well then, that would seem to suggest that the Indian authorities (I assume your licence is an indian one?) are NOT aware that there is no such thing as an ICAO type II licence.
My licence (EASA-UK) states that it meets the intent of ICAO annex I when endorsed with a type rating. No mention of ICAO type II at all.
