Aviation Career Training
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there are 170 schools certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the leading aviation employee organization. College degrees in aviation technology, aviation maintenance management, or avionics are available at the 2 and 4-year levels. FAA laws require certified mechanic schools to offer students at least 1,900 class hours, focusing on:
  • tools & equipment
  • turbine engines
  • composite materials
  • mathematics & science
  • mechanical drawing
The BLS cites an increase in aviation employees of 10 percent from 2006 to 2016, with the greatest job opportunities going to those with the strongest career training/college degrees. Because the top airlines offer the best pay and benefits, the greatest competition is for these positions.
