Program Overview
This program fits students who want a low-cost, credential-stacked path to the airframe rating and mechanic certificate testing eligibility, without enrolling in a two-year degree program.
$6,708 covers the entire Aviation Airframe Mechanics program at Tom P. Haney Technical College, split across two enrollment periods of tuition plus supply costs. The program builds toward FAA Airframe and Powerplant certification testing through stacked occupational completion points: a general technician credential, then two airframe technician levels. Training runs on a daytime, weekday schedule, backed by a partnership with Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport.
This is a technical college certificate program, not a degree track, structured around occupational completion points rather than semester credits. The total program cost is $6,708. Florida has 19 certificated Part 147 schools, and the nearest alternative sits 66.1 miles away.
