Aviation Maintenance Technology
The Aviation industry offers a multitude of dynamic and lucrative careers for people who have the required academic and technical background. Every commercial, private, or military aircraft requires the careful attention of a professional maintenance specialist. This individual must be certified and licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Typically, entry level salaries for such positions range from between $50,000 to $60,000 annually. Our Aviation Maintenance Technology program will provide students with the knowledge, skills and certification required by the FAA.
The program is comprised of 1900 hours of instruction. Upon completion of the curriculum, written, oral and practical examinations, students will earn FAA airframe and powerplant certification ready for employment. From propeller aircraft to the space shuttle, our graduates design, fly and maintain them. Our mission is to provide our nation with qualified young professionals necessary to control the present and influence the future of the aerospace industry.
