Aviation Maintenance Technology
A career in aviation maintenance offers an
exciting and rewarding career with high income potential. Every aircraft used for hire
must undergo thorough inspections, maintenance and repairs on a regular basis by
certified technicians. Complete a diploma
program in as little as 18 months or an associate degree in 23 months prepared to get
your A&P certification from the FAA.
Many industries such as auto and diesel,
auto and boat racing and heavy-equipment
desire the high quality, detail-oriented
skills possessed by certified aviation
maintenance technicians. This desire opens
the opportunities for aviation maintenance
technicians to aviation and beyond.
