Type of Degree
Certificate

South offers both certificate and degree programs in Aviation Maintenance and Aeronautical Technology. Check with the department for short-term certificate offerings relating to General Aviation for Composite and Aviation Composites Lab.

The Aviation Maintenance certificate program offers a preparatory program in airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanics. The aviation maintenance airframe and powerplant curriculum is approved by the F.A.A. (Air Agency Certificate # HQ6T596N). The two-year (8 quarters) curriculum provides training on current aviation airframes and powerplants.

Students who successfully complete the curriculum are awarded a certificate of completion qualifying them to take the Federal Aviation Administration examination for the airframe and powerplant mechanic license.

Either the airframe or the powerplant component may be taken separately. Completion of both components is highly recommended for increased employment opportunities.

The A.A.S. and A.A.S.-T degree programs provide graduates of recognized airframe and powerplant programs and experienced F.A.A.-certified mechanics the opportunity to expand their knowledge and training, and earn an Associate of Applied Science degree.
