Aviation Institute of Maintenance

The Combination Welding Diploma Program offers many opportunities if you enjoy working with your hands, machines and metals. Hands-on training will allow you to develop the basic manipulative skills involved in welding and flame cutting, and classroom instruction covers welding theory, shop prints and blueprints and more. When you graduate, you will be prepared to take the test for the Welding Certification from American Welding Society (AWS) 3G-4G.

The Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) program is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills to excel as an aircraft mechanic. This training prepares you to pass the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) test to become a certified Airframe and Powerplant Technician for employment in aviation maintenance. You are trained to service, repair, and overhaul aircraft components and systems, including the airframe, piston engines, turbine engines, electrical systems, hydraulic systems, propellers, instrumentation, warning and environmental systems.

The Aviation Maintenance Technical Engineer (AMTE) program trains the student on subjects ranging from the basic theories of flight to advanced electronic systems on modern aircraft. The student will receive classroom instruction and hands-on experience in a wide range of subjects such as sheet metal and composite fabrication and repair, hydraulics, avionics and communications, piston and turbine engines, and other systems. The program prepares the graduate with the knowledge and skills required to pass the FAA tests and obtain a mechanic certificate with A&P ratings.

The Aviation Maintenance Technical Engineer (AMTE) program takes the student through the basics of flight and into the technological advances for the world of aviation. The course of study takes the student through the hands on techniques and knowledge in such areas as composite fabrication and repair, sheet metal, hydraulics, pneumatics, instrumentation, landing gear, piston and turbine engines, to include the various aircraft systems. The student learns the intricacies of the entire aircraft as each system is dissected for deeper understanding. Students will gain the skills to properly and efficiently troubleshoot and repair aircraft systems as they relate to fixed wing aircraft and rotary aircraft.

If you already have some training or experience in aircraft maintenance or electronics repair, Aviation Institute of Maintenance's Avionics Technician Program is that perfect next step. The Avionics Technician Program is designed to prepare you for career opportunities in aircraft electricity or aviation electronics systems, troubleshooting and repair. If you do not have previous aircraft maintenance or electronics experience, consider the AMTE program, which is designed to provide the fundamental skills for Airframe and Powerplant maintenance, as well as specific skills and knowledge required for employment in the avionics field.
