Aircraft Mechanic Schools

Unlike many other types of aviation schools, Aircraft Mechanic Schools are much harder to find because these operations must meet strict Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification. Currently, less than 180 schools are operating today. Take the fast track - To become an aircraft mechanic at one of these schools you'll need a high school diploma (or GED) and only one to two years of training. These schools specialize in teaching you the skills you'll need to be successful in the workforce, but even more importantly, they do it in much less time than you would spend if you were getting "on the job" experience. After you graduate and put in three years on the job, you'll be eligible to become an IA (inspection authorization) which allows you to return aircraft to service after major repair, alteration, or required maintenance inspections. So get out there and earn you A&P aircraft mechanic licenses. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be working in the field!
