A&P mechanic courses available online

Aircraft maintenance technicians participating in the Air Force Airframe and Powerplant Certification Program now can complete the three required courses through Air University Online.

The A&P mechanic specialized courses are part of the program requirements. After graduating, airmen are eligible to test for the Federal Aviation Administration A&P certification.

“These courses were developed to fulfill the formal education requirement of the Joint Service Aviation Maintenance Technician Certification Council A&P Program,” said Chief Master Sgt. William Wade, aircraft maintenance career field manager and chair of the joint certification council.

The courses are designed to bridge the gap between military and civilian aircraft maintenance training and education, and prepare military technicians for the FAA A&P certification exams. The courses are available to technicians serving in all branches of the military.
