About Aviation Institute of Maintenance, The Company

AIM is part of a successful group of companies, which first began in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1969 and has grown to become a network of AIM campuses across the nation. We have maintained a tradition of excellence in education and workforce development throughout the expansion over more than four decades.

AIM is well-known for providing high quality, hands-on training to our students in Aviation Maintenance programs. But as time went on, we saw other industry leaders demanding similar skills our aviation students have after graduating. To fill that need, we went beyond aviation to develop related industry technician programs.

We offer programs in aviation, maintenance, welding, and technician fields, whether it be for aircraft maintenance; maintenance technician, combination welding, industrial manufacturing, HVAC, or aircraft dispatcher.

We seek industry feedback about our curriculum to identify the technologies and specific skills that industry leaders need. The Aviation Partnerships provide hiring pathways to support the overwhelming demand for new Aviation Maintenance Technicians today and over the next 20 years as forecast by 2019 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook.
