George Stone Technical College Aviation Maintenance Program

Program Overview

This program fits a Florida resident who wants full-time day training toward both Airframe and Powerplant certification at a fixed total cost.

George Stone Technical College runs full-time day classes, Monday through Friday, for both Aviation Airframe Mechanics and Aviation Powerplant Mechanics, working toward an Occupational Completion Point in General Aviation Maintenance and a second OCP in either Airframe or Powerplant. Half of the curriculum is shop and laboratory instruction, following FAR Part 147, preparing students for the FAA's General exam plus either the Airframe or Powerplant written, oral, and practical exams.

Total program cost for Florida residents runs $5,400, covering tuition; books and supplies are billed separately, and the schedule is full-time days rather than evenings or self-paced. In the Pensacola area, aviation mechanics earn a mean wage of $68,240 and a median of $63,580, context for weighing that cost against the full-time daytime schedule.
