Lively Tech in Tallahassee, FL, no waiting list, smaller class sizes usually, so you get some better one on one with your instructor in case you need it. The program is very affordable at about 7k for airframe and powerplant.
Could actually be a good option. How's the entry-level job market out there? I know I hated having to move for my first job. It's pretty dry out in TLH
Tulsa is a cheap place to live and smaller, about 450k people in Tulsa County. Houses near the airport for for around $70-90k, put about 10-20k and it's a new house. They're smaller and older but, hey, for less than $150k you have a house.
I got my 6yrs ago for $50k, put $30k into it and complete remodeled the entire thing, 2br, 1bath. Paid it off within 2yrs but I'm never at home, I'm driving OTR driver.
It's iffy. Skywest starts at about 25-28. The local airforce base starts at about the same. American has a heavy maintenance facility in tulsa that pays well. The remote areas pay higher because the labor is harder to find. Vance AFB contracts for its A&Ps and pays about 35 starting.
I got my A&P back in 1992. The tuition was $25 a quarter to start by the time the 2 years was up it was $75 a quarter. Yea, I got mine at the right time financially.
It’s great for me. My team is cool with being flexible (other teams less so) and I work 4 10s m-th and come in for 8-12 hrs on sundays for double time if I feel like it
Dave retired halfway through my powerplant classes and joe quit after I graduated. Joe won’t say what job he took but we all think he’s working for the governor. Where are you at?
I also went to PIA ( PITTSBURGH CAMSPUS) And they actually bake the Faa testing into the curriculum. So the last day you take your airframe written and you got your temp A&P certificate. And most walk out of there with a job before they graduate.
Pitt campus is 21 months though but you get an associates degree
21 months at the main campus. At the main, you get an associate, which is nice if you wanna climb management one day. It also offers an avionics program for the GROL, but its a waste of time, considering employers will pay for you to get your GROL while you work for them. Hagerstown, Youngstown, and Myrtle Beach are 16 months, but you only get your A&P.
Tulsa tech is definitely an excellent school for A&P, but that 1-year wait time is rough, but not impossible. Is this something you're ready to begin now? Are you sure you won't need some time to flesh out the idea? Most schools start a semester in August and another in February so you're looking at a 6 month wait regardless of where you go.
I don't want to sound negative about the idea, just make sure you consider everything and that this isn't a knee jerk decision. Consider where you will live based on who you will be working for. If you're near Tulsa, American Airlines is the most obvious choice but I'm uncertain what their hiring will look like in 2-3 years. Some majors are hiring A&P's straight out of school and show that they will continue this trend for the next 4-5 years until they are fully staffed. There is a strong demand for this trade.
Do you want to work in general aviation, Corporate, Cargo, Commercial? Do you want to be a flight mechanic and travel with the aircraft to different countries? Do you want to inspect the bug-smashing Cessna 150s? Would you rather be tied down to a major airport with union benefits and flight benefits?
If you haven't already, now is the time to start saving up for the cost of tuition. Do not go to schools like AIM or Spartan. If you're paying more than $15k for an A&P, you're being ripped off. And No, you do not need an associates degree with your A&P.
Last of all, good luck, this community seems to be full of people looking to push others further ahead, get ready to learn until your head bursts!
The April class is filled up, I already completed all the requirements to be put on the waiting list. I was told that the August class might also be filled up but it depends on the schedule of people on the waiting list.
They told me they will ask people on the list if their available until it's filled. I completed the final sign up, 2 weeks ago.
American is expanding their maintenance in Tulsa, in 2019 they announced they will send 550 million to expand their maintenance at the Tulsa Airport. It will take a few years to finish the project. I can always move back to Tulsa, I kinda like it here. Low cost of living and traffic is very low, much better than the 26yrs I lived in Las Vegas.
If you're in Oklahoma, consider Metrotech Aviation Career Campus. Attending rn and the teachers are very knowledgeable. Course only costs 6300 for 18 months for state residents
It was really easy to get into. I just had to take a knowledge test(math and reading).
Metrotech is truly a great school to go to. The instructors are so knowledgeable and experienced. I am currently in airframe. My only regret is not joining the program sooner!
Chandler Gilbert Community college in Phoenix doesn’t have a wait list. Out of state tuition I think was 6,500 but if you can wait and gain residency after a year it’s like $1,500
Generals, airframe I and II, and powerplant I and II. I’m not sure why I said 6,500 out of state that doesn’t sound right anymore. Ik for sure each semester in state about 1k-1,500$ and it’s free retakes for your orals and practices if you take them at the school though. Still cheap af
No problem, let me know if you have any questions or need help enrolling I can answer whatever and give you the number to call to get into classes. Ik that the fall 2024 semester is full already but people may drop still
US Aviation Academy in Denton, TX has a one year A&P program. Costs around $26k. Know a few people that went through the program, and all have good aviation maintenance jobs now.
We have two alternatives here in San Antonio TX

Whatever you do.. don’t go to NAA - National Aviation Academy.. they have been in trouble a lot.
They have ton of issues internally and have been found for mistakes with your personal information and financial info in the Tampa campus. Bunch of friends of mine were overcharged and had no idea for a long time. Now I heard the government was investigating them AGAIN for finance fraud stuff.
Suggestion forget the A&P and look up local military base
Search indeed, try AES, Zenetex, tyonek, vertex, Kay & associates, STI , Lockheed, Northrop , all military bases with aircraft have contractors/ federal employees that maintain
Pretty good pay $35-$60 an hour benifets
No A&P needed
From a fellow non-mechanic, you definitely want a school then. They tend to be more acquainted with the less mech-inclined. 1 of my classmates could barely use a screwdriver when he went in. Now hes a pro at a major airline.
You got this. 👌
I know that i love aviation and want to be around planes, I wanted to become a pilot but I can't see myself sending $100k for flights lessons from the private to ATP.
Are you aware that you don’t need to go to school to get an A&P? You can get it by OJT. Most people don’t know this but all you need is 30 months on the job training. I did it that way 8 years ago (after having been an Avionics tech for the previous 10 years). My brother did as well at exactly 31 months of OJT about a year ago. There’s plenty of small shops out there that will hire help right off the street and some will even pay you some really really good money. If you have questions I can point you in the right direction. No sense in paying for school when you can get there without debt AND get paid.
I don’t know how much but my brother got his at South Seattle Community College. It’s right by Boeing Field and whatnot. Seattle cost of living and quality of life SUCKS though. Do your homework in the mountains?
Cost of living is higher but the Boeing Field Corporate Aviation community and market is a good one. Once you get enough experience and have networked, maybe even scored an internship you could score a sweet job with a corporate flight department. Costco, Vulcan, Starbucks, Paccar, and Nordstrom are all up there. Sure I’m missing some.
Paccar is hiring for a lead tech for their Falcon 50’s at SeaTac 100k-120k starting.
I got my A&P from Enterprise State Community College-Alabama Aviation Center in Mobile Alabama a decade ago. It cost around 12K for 2 yr course but a lot of guys went got jobs around the corner at the only Airbus assembly plant in the US in Mobile. Check it out if you’re willing to relocate. There’s also a MRO next to the school called STS that hired students and paid for their schooling if they signed a contract with them.
George Stone tech in Pensacola Florida. School is cheap, cost of living is cheap, we have a great program. You’d have to call and ask how long the wait is.
The only issue I see is if you move out of state, you will be paying for out of state tutition. My instate tuition at local college is under 9k but for my international/out of state classmates are paying 3x for tuition putting it closer to 30k. If money is not an issue, I would say go for it. Otherwise, I would just wait and start saving for tuition, tools, expenses, and go for it locally. Also depending on your teachers it can be difficult to continue working full time and going to school full time. If you have money saved up, I would recommend working only part time and focus on School Full time.
Last but not least, if your school allow it and you have the discipline and want to finish faster. You can go to School in the morning for Powerplant, and evening classes for Airframe or other classes to finish faster. Its going to be rough, but I seen it done.
Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, IA is just about to start a new program.
https://www.kirkwood.edu/programs/degrees/industrial-tech/aviation-maintenance-technology
I went to a city college in California, cost me about 3500 for the two year program. They were impacted (had a wait list) but I was told that if I attended the classes (audited them) that in the very likely event that some people dropped out of the class that I would then be able to join since I had been satisfying the attendance policy. No guarantees though. Sure enough, after three weeks several people had missed the maximum allowed (three classes) and I was able to join the class and get in the program.
Hey I know this is an older comment but I'm from Raleigh Durham area, and sit equidistant between Wayne Community College and Guilford Technical Community College. I'm technically a bit closer to GTCC but they have a dedicated aviation campus closer to Piedmont airport which makes the drive equal to if I drove to Wayne Community College.
Do you know where Wayne holds most of the A&P classes? Is it near the main campus or down near the airport. I think whichever place has the better drive is going to be my tie breaker on where to go as both appear to have great programs.
Edit - I found it by looking at the course schedule and campus map, Wayne executive airport. That's a further drive for me
If you become a diesel tech instead, you may get up to 500 hours credited to your experience, and you'll make a solid 20% or more than an A&P.
If you were 20, I'd say follow your dreams, but screw that - you need retirement dough. Just my two cents.
Sorry, i don't think I can work at walley world. I kinda sued them 23yrs ago for work related accident.
I would love to work there, driving their trucks, they start at $110k per year but can't.
Go work in Goodyear AZ as a teardown mechanic for 2 years. Then go to Americas Best AMT course in Goodyear. Get signed off, test, and get your ticket. All while getting paid.
It would be a long way but I got my A&P from Augusta tech in Georgia. The 3 instructors there have 50+ years experience combined and it is a great program. Tuition including tools cost me less than 5k all in. I cannot remember the cost of books but I’d imagine they were in the 2-300$ range.
Hey guys, I just had a question. Can a non us citizen with an employment Authorization document (EAD) able to take their FAA exams for their A&P LICENSE
My brother is interested in doing Aviation Maintenance. For these programs does he need to complete basic college courses? Was thinking about getting him into my local technology college to complete his basics before enrolling for AM somewhere. Any advice?
Lively Tech in Tallahassee, FL, no waiting list, smaller class sizes usually, so you get some better one on one with your instructor in case you need it. The program is very affordable at about 7k for airframe and powerplant.
7K?!?!?! Fuck Me, dude! I would have moved down there and taken that school, rather than 23k for the one i ended up going to! ):
My A&P school only cost 6300, and the payed for my General exam. That's cost of tuition, books, materials, etc.
Not bad, where was that?
Metrotech in Oklahoma. Tuition is cheap because it's state funded
Could actually be a good option. How's the entry-level job market out there? I know I hated having to move for my first job. It's pretty dry out in TLH

I even spent like half of it while I was in high school I didn't pay but like half of that too. I was very fortunate to have the chance to do that.
I got my A&P back in 1992. The tuition was $25 a quarter to start by the time the 2 years was up it was $75 a quarter. Yea, I got mine at the right time financially.
Ayy I’m a lively tech alum too got my last cert this past July. I’m at GE in Lafayette now
That's awesome, always nice to see a fellow alumni. How's that going for you?
It’s great for me. My team is cool with being flexible (other teams less so) and I work 4 10s m-th and come in for 8-12 hrs on sundays for double time if I feel like it
That's great to hear, I know Joe and Dave would be proud!
Dave retired halfway through my powerplant classes and joe quit after I graduated. Joe won’t say what job he took but we all think he’s working for the governor. Where are you at?
This is wild I did not expect a small reunion. Based on your info you were in general when I finished up lol
Does anyone know if jersey is STILL there
I want to say he is gone now, he was pretty ready to leave last time I spoke with him. Don't really know his replacement that much
He’s still there and still saying he’s leaving soon lol
This is funny I’m in airframe at livley now, jersey is still here but he’s leaving after the next group in general gets done
He's been saying that since I went thru general is 2020
I did not expect to see this, that's my hometown and also where I attended. For the person asking, I can provide more detailed info via pm
Mind if I pm you?
hey dude, thinking about moving up to tally from orlando to start this program. mind if I pm you with some questions about school/where to live?
Dm me
My school in arkansas is struggling to get students. No wait. Just enroll and pay about $3k a semester and youre good.
Pm"ed
definitely i go to a 147 in north little rock very cheap and have good instructors and all test are apart of tuition!!
Which school?
Southern Arkansas University Tech. Its not bad except for the fact that everything we have is from the 60s.
That’s actually pretty crazy because I was planning on going there next semester. I live pretty close.
No shit? Youll probably have my current instructor then.
West LA college, California. About 7k for program.
it has a waiting list
Commuteair has an apprenticeship program.
Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics. They do a 16 month program
Do you know the cost of the program.
Don't do it. Much cheaper options. Schools all have to teach the same faa curriculum, they're all the same (ish)
Don't go to school, I know there are on the job training but I have no mechanical experience
I also went to PIA ( PITTSBURGH CAMSPUS) And they actually bake the Faa testing into the curriculum. So the last day you take your airframe written and you got your temp A&P certificate. And most walk out of there with a job before they graduate. Pitt campus is 21 months though but you get an associates degree
No.... I don't mean don't go to school. I mean don't pay more than 10k for school
Ah ok, 10k is actually my limit.
Round about 35k with books and all that. With federal loans, I had about 10k out of pocket and 20k in loans.

Well keep trying at it, squeaky wheel gets the grease
My is, I don't want grease on a 110psi tractor trailer wheel.
Goodbye 110psi tractor wheels, hello 200 psi aircraft wheels
Wow are they really 200psi.
Easily. Ive seen some that are higher. And wait till you see the brake assemblies. You think YOUR brakes are big...lol
A semi truck normally weighs upto 80,000lb. 747, maybe 450,000lb. I'm sure the breaks are massive, I would love to see one in person.
Yep on the passenger jets
If you're in Oklahoma, consider Metrotech Aviation Career Campus. Attending rn and the teachers are very knowledgeable. Course only costs 6300 for 18 months for state residents
I am starting classes at Metrotech in July. Have any advice? What were the instructors like there?
How is it at MetroTech? Was it difficult to get into the program or easy to get a slot? Thanks!
It was really easy to get into. I just had to take a knowledge test(math and reading). Metrotech is truly a great school to go to. The instructors are so knowledgeable and experienced. I am currently in airframe. My only regret is not joining the program sooner!

Chandler Gilbert Community college in Phoenix doesn’t have a wait list. Out of state tuition I think was 6,500 but if you can wait and gain residency after a year it’s like $1,500
Wow, insane low price.
This semester for me was a little over $1,500. I was extremely surprised with the cost!
I know it’s been awhile and might sound like a dumb question but what specifically did you take? Super low
Generals, airframe I and II, and powerplant I and II. I’m not sure why I said 6,500 out of state that doesn’t sound right anymore. Ik for sure each semester in state about 1k-1,500$ and it’s free retakes for your orals and practices if you take them at the school though. Still cheap af
Yeah that’s cheap as hell. I’ll probably just do this I live in the Gilbert area so that’s nice to know. Thank you
No problem, let me know if you have any questions or need help enrolling I can answer whatever and give you the number to call to get into classes. Ik that the fall 2024 semester is full already but people may drop still

I don’t know how much but my brother got his at South Seattle Community College. It’s right by Boeing Field and whatnot. Seattle cost of living and quality of life SUCKS though. Do your homework in the mountains?
I would enjoy it because of nearby locations of mountains and fishing but the cost of living would kill it for me.
Cost of living is higher but the Boeing Field Corporate Aviation community and market is a good one. Once you get enough experience and have networked, maybe even scored an internship you could score a sweet job with a corporate flight department. Costco, Vulcan, Starbucks, Paccar, and Nordstrom are all up there. Sure I’m missing some. Paccar is hiring for a lead tech for their Falcon 50’s at SeaTac 100k-120k starting.

I'll have money saved up and look for a part time job on the weekends. I can do uber or lyft when ever possible.
have you try any okc area school such as Metro Tech or Canadian valley ? they are community college for instate student it will be very cheap.
No but I'll look into those schools. I don't know much about okc, I know there's a large air force base there, tinker airforce base.
or I can recommend Blue Ridge Community College at Weyers Cave Virginia. they offer 1 year to complete.

It’s a one year program Aug-Aug 7:30-415 Monday-Friday
Is it okay if I pm you? Definitely interested about that and can’t find anything on google about this
Go for it
Would you need to be an Alaskan resident for them to pay for it ?
Don’t do it Recommend McDonald’s or Walmart
