Program Overview
This program fits high school and adult students looking for an entry point into aviation maintenance, with tuition-free access for high schoolers and follow-on airframe and powerplant programs at the same campus.
American Airlines helped build the pipeline behind Tulsa Technology Center's Aviation Generals program, which leads to an Aircraft Electronics Technician or Aviation Maintenance Technician-General credential. Training happens at the Riverside Campus in day, evening, or high school formats, the last spanning two school years. Separate Aviation Airframe and Aviation Powerplant follow-on programs continue at the same campus after Aviation Generals.
Adult tuition for the full program totals $2,688, plus separate technology, book, and tools costs; high school students attend tuition-free, paying only for tools, supplies, and certification costs. Tulsa's metro area supports about 4,520 aviation mechanics, with a location quotient of 11.1, well above the national average concentration. The nearest alternative Part 147 school sits 3.6 miles away.
