George T. Baker Aviation Technical College Aviation Maintenance Program

Program Overview

This program fits someone who wants an FAA Airframe-only credential with the option to add a separate Avionics or Powerplant program on the same Miami campus.

A separate Powerplant Mechanics program and a separate Avionics Systems Technician program run on the same campus.
