Texarkana College (TC) is excited to announce that the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has certified its new Aviation Maintenance Technician training program which will begin in January 2025. The curriculum is designed to prepare students to quickly enter the workforce and help meet the growing demand for highly skilled aircraft maintenance technicians in the aviation industry.
Dr. Jason Smith, TC President said, the job outlook for aviation maintenance technicians is at an all-time high with a need for more than 716,000 new technicians globally. “The aviation maintenance sector is experiencing unprecedented growth and the demand for new A&P mechanics is driving starting salaries upward toward $80,000 in some markets,” said Dr. Smith. “TC’s curriculum is designed to help students quickly enter the workforce within one calendar year with the knowledge and skills required to successfully gain their FAA certification.”
Dr. Smith said the program design is unique and will maximize the student’s hands-on learning time.
