Program Overview
This program fits people who want Maine's only certificated Part 147 training and can handle a weekend lab schedule while working or living far from a maintenance school.
University of Maine at Augusta runs an Aircraft Maintenance Training School Certificate program out of its hangar facility in Brunswick. The course spans five semesters and fifty-six credit hours, mixing asynchronous lectures with hands-on labs usually held on weekends. UMA also offers AAS and BAS applied-science degrees in aviation maintenance, and the program prepares students for FAA Airframe and Powerplant certification exams.
Weigh this as a certificate-level program, not a degree track, housed inside a public university. Maine has only one certificated Part 147 school, and the nearest alternative sits about 105.3 miles away, so distance matters if you're comparing commute options.
