SJVC Aviation Maintenance Featured

Today’s modern airplanes depend on a robust set of parts and routine maintenance in order to travel safely. SJVC’s Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) program in Fresno is designed to provide students with basic skills that support aviation maintenance and procedures.

As an Aviation Maintenance Technology student, you’ll have a chance to learn about:

  • Turbine/jet engine systems
  • Propeller & engine systems
  • Basic electricity & electronics
  • Aircraft engine and airframe repair

In as little as 17 months, you could earn a Certificate of Completion. Graduates are eligible to test for an Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) license through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

SJVC prepares students to take appropriate certification and licensure exams related to their individual majors. The College does not guarantee students will successfully pass these exams or be certified or licensed as a result of completing the program.

We also offer an Apprentice Program with our partner SkyWest Airlines. The SkyWest Apprentice Program will prepare students to step into coveted mechanic positions with SkyWest’s aircraft maintenance team while enrolled in SJVC’s Aviation Maintenance Technology program. Learn more about the Apprentice Program and check out our blog article about it.
