Aviation Maintenance Technology - Spartan College of Aeronautics

Aviation Maintenance
Technology
The field of aviation maintenance can be exciting and rewarding. Aircraft
must undergo thorough inspections, maintenance and repairs on a regular basis by technicians certified by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA). Complete a diploma program in as little as 15 months or an associate degree in 18
months. Both programs are designed to prepare you for the Airframe and Powerplant Certification (A&P License).
Companies in many industries such as auto and diesel, racing and heavy-equipment seek the high quality,
detail-oriented skills possessed by certified aviation maintenance (A&P) technicians. This desire opens the opportunities
for aviation maintenance technicians to aviation and beyond.
