Aviation Maintenance Technology

The Aviation Maintenance Technology program prepares students to inspect, repair, service and overhaul airframe and powerplant systems. Students also receive training in the electrical and electronics as part of the aviation industry.

The program offers specialized classroom instruction and practical hands on experience in the field of aviation airframe and powerplant maintenance.

Upon completion of the program the student will be eligible to take the Federal Aviation Administration Certification Exam to become a licensed airframe and powerplant mechanic.

Any applicant wishing to enroll in Aviation Maintenance Technology must first take the TTC-M Technology Foundations Examination, Which will, be given each Friday at 8:00.
