Charlotte Technical College Aviation Maintenance Program

Program Overview

This program fits students who want the airframe rating as a standalone credential first, with the powerplant rating available separately at the same Port Charlotte campus.

Charlotte Technical College's Aviation Airframe Mechanics program builds toward the airframe rating through stacked credentials: an Aviation Maintenance General Technician certificate, then an Airframe Technician certificate at a first and then a second level. The powerplant rating is offered as a separate day and evening program at the same campus. Training happens on an airport campus with hands-on facility access, and a PAMA scholarship opportunity is listed for students.
