Burlington Technical Center Aviation Maintenance Program

Program Overview

This is a high school program, so it fits a Vermont student pursuing aircraft mechanic training years before enrolling in a two-year college program, since it's currently the only FAA Part 147 school in the state.

Burlington Technical Center's Aviation and Aerospace program is a two-year high school pathway toward Airframe and Powerplant certification. Students disassemble and reassemble piston and turbine engines, learn to weld, and in year two perform run-up checks on a Beechcraft Sundowner. Vermont State University grants college credit toward its Aviation Maintenance Technology degree for completers, in a newly opened aviation technical center building.

This is Vermont's only FAA-certificated Part 147 school, and the nearest alternative is 123.5 miles away in another state. It's a high school program rather than a standalone college degree, feeding into a two-year associate track through Vermont State University for those who continue.

• Students disassemble and reassemble piston and turbine engines and learn to weld
