Program Overview
This fits students who want a fast, tool-included aircraft mechanic track with GI Bill funding at a Texas campus offering optional avionics training.
US Aviation Academy's Denton campus offers an Aviation Maintenance Program leading to the FAA mechanic certificate with Airframe and Powerplant ratings, known as the A&P, with training covering both ratings. Students choose an eight-month full-time track or a sixteen-month semi-full-time schedule, and the $36,000 total program cost includes tools, digital materials, and first attempts at FAA exams. An optional avionics add-on is also available.
Weigh this as a private trade-school program, not a college degree, with GI Bill funding available. The $36,000 program cost is fixed regardless of which schedule you choose, so the real tradeoff is finishing full time versus semi-full-time.
