RAASAMT - AAS_Aviation Maintenance Tech

Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) is a career field with excellent employment opportunities.

Students should contact the AMT Director, academic advisors, or the Career and Technical Education Unit concerning semester start dates. Completing courses in the sequence and schedule offered is critical to the successful completion of the program. Upon successful completion of the 14 CFR Part 147 program, the graduate will be issued a certificate acknowledging the student’s eligibility for FAA testing. Students seeking an associate of applied science degree must also successfully complete additional general education classes.

Applicants for an Associate of Applied Science Degree, who are currently FAA Airframe & Powerplant certificate holders, may apply their A&P certificate towards the AMT portion of the A.A.S. degree.

Please note that the FAA exams are currently only administered in English.
