The Aircraft Industry considers the person who has completed a course of instruction or by sheer experience has accumulated the necessary knowledge to become an Airframe & Powerplant maintenance technician to be the top in their field. This person has demonstrated that he or she is familiar with all facets of aircraft maintenance.The A&P License is mandatory in many fields to even be considered for an entry-level position. For this reason, the A&P license is highly desired and is a natural adjunct for the technician, whether he is highly experienced or just recently out of a training environment. This license is the ticket to maintaining or finding rewarding employment.

License Requirements
At present, all A&P maintenance technicians are governed by FAR Part 65, which sets out experience requirements, expectations of the applicant, and what the applicant will receive at the end of the course of instruction. Basically, the applicant can expect to furnish the following items to the FAA inspector to show eligibility for the examinations.

An applicant who desires the combined Airframe and Powerplant rating will need 30 months of actual experience, of which 18 months will be working on airframe structures and 18 months working on aircraft engines. For either the Airframe or Powerplant only (due to lack of experience in either Airframe or Powerplant), the applicant will need 18 months only.

We suggest you bring your records to our office if you have any doubts as to your qualifications, and our counselors will gladly help you determine what additional experience, if any, you may need.

1. Have your military discharge records showing you have worked on aircraft the required number of months or, if active duty, a record of on-the-job training (OJT).
2. Have a letter from a licensed mechanic stating you have worked under his supervision, with details of work done and dates worked. This must be full-time work. The letter must identify aircraft and engines you worked on by type and what you actually did. Give complete details. The letter should also include a statement that he believes you are qualified under FAR Part 65.77.
3. If you were qualified before and started but never finished your rating, bring this information with you. Your experience never expires.
4. Have your diploma from a civilian FAA-approved school.

Note: Discounted rate available to Military Personnel upon Registration

As in all of our programs, we give a 100% written guarantee that you will pass all parts of the written examination if you have participated and studied as directed. We offer an oral & practical review at an hourly rate to greatly enhance your ability to pass your oral and practical examination. This course of instruction will cover at least the following areas: basic electricity, weight and balance, math, physics, airframe structures and systems, sheet metal, bend allowance, fuel, hydraulics, powerplant theory, induction, exhaust, lubrication, ignition, propellers, jet engines, oral and practical review, and much more.

Training Standards
Each student must receive a minimum score of 70% in order to pass and receive a license. Practice exams will be administered prior to each FAA examination. Each student is expected to finish this course in the time allotted by the instructor. Our contract for services explains this in detail.

FCC General Radiotelephone Operator's License

(Also available for online E-Learning)

The communications and electronic industries consider the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) General Radiotelephone Operators License (GROL) a benchmark of professionalism and experience. The GROL is the former "First Class" license and now is issued for the lifetime of the holder. It is the highest rating given by the FCC.

Many technicians obtain the license for the value a prospective employer places on it, as well as the promotion/advancement opportunities and the job retention potential in the event of a company mass layoff due to downsizing. Most applications involving air wave transmissions, regulated by the FCC, may require the General License for employment. This course includes the following topics:

License Requirements
1. You must be eligible for employment in the United States.
2. You must be able to read, write, and speak English.
3. You must pass a written multiple choice examination of one hundred questions.

Regular Course Tuition and Materials: $1,400 (examination fee additional)

These are the actual license-in-pocket costs per student. There are no additional fees for retraining. AVIATION COURSES LIMITED., gives a 100% written guarantee that, upon the student's full participation and completion of all assignments, the student will receive the GROL. In the unlikely event of a retest, AVIATION COURSES LIMITED., will pay one-half of the retest, one time only.

Training Standards
Each student must receive a percentage score of more than 75% in order to pass and receive the license. Practice exams will be administered prior to the FCC examination.
