The FAA requirements for eligibility for an aircraft mechanic certificate include the following:
Once these criteria are met, a series of exams are completed to confirm the level of your knowledge.
These tests are divided into 3 sections: General, Powerplant, and Airframe.
In each of these sections, there is an oral, practical, and written examination. Upon completion of the 19-month program, you will be qualified and prepared to complete exams in all three sections.

The Aviation Maintenance Technology (AVMT) program provides training in everything from changing a tire to rebuilding a turbine engine to taxiing the aircraft.
Traditional education can be frustrating and even alienating for those who learn by doing. This program is different. We value hands-on learning and career training. Our instructors have worked as certified mechanics and are ready to treat the classroom like an aircraft hangar – because it is!
