Lively Technical College Aviation Maintenance Program

Program Overview

This program suits students in the Tallahassee area who want a lower-cost path to the FAA Airframe rating alone, with the Powerplant rating available separately at the same school.

Lively Technical College's Aviation Airframe Mechanics program awards a certificate carrying the FAA Airframe rating, with classes at the school's Capital Circle campus in Tallahassee. Training runs on a clock-hour schedule rather than a semester calendar and covers the Airframe rating only; a separate Aviation Powerplant Mechanics program covers Powerplant. An Industry Advisory Committee that includes Standard Aero, Flightline Group, AeroCenter and PSA Airlines guides the curriculum.

This is a single-rating certificate program, with published tuition at $3,942 for the full course before separate fees. Florida lists 19 Part 147 schools, and the nearest other certificated program sits 78.5 miles away. Mechanics nationwide earn a median wage of $79,870 a year, a figure worth weighing against this airframe-only scope.
