Atlanta Technical College Aviation Maintenance Program

Program Overview

This program fits students in Atlanta who want a three-semester Airframe Technical Certificate of Credit with GI Bill eligibility and a Monday-through-Thursday daytime schedule.

Atlanta Technical College offers an Aviation Maintenance Airframe Technical Certificate of Credit, a three-semester program held Monday through Thursday from morning into early afternoon at its Aviation Building. The program regained FAA recertification with support from Delta Air Lines and Delta TechOps, and students who already hold a powerplant rating are not required to retake the general portion. A separate Powerplant Technical Certificate of Credit is offered on its own.

This is a public technical college certificate, not a degree program, and it lists an estimated total cost of $9,700 with GI Bill benefits available to eligible veterans. Atlanta's aviation mechanics post a median paycheck around $98,300 annually, well beyond the $79,870 median reported nationwide, a gap worth weighing against that three-semester cost.

• Students with a powerplant rating are not required to retake the general portion
• Program regained FAA recertification with support from Delta Air Lines/Delta TechOps
• Also offers a separate Aviation Maintenance Technician-Power Plant TCC
