Program attendees must meet eligibility requirements and be willing to relocate to industry partner hiring locations.

Previous aviation experience is not necessary, but applicants must have a mechanical aptitude. For additional information, see https://worldwide.erau.edu/amtp

If participants meet the experience requirements established by FAA Part 65.77 to qualify for the Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) Certificate, then this program will provide the foundational knowledge necessary to take the FAA written, oral, and practical examination. A&P certificated mechanics have numerous options for employment. If participants have NOT met the 18-30 months of practical experience necessary to qualify for the A&P Certificate, then select industry hiring partners are committed to hiring and will provide participants with the necessary practical experience once they are employed.

Receive command approval to participate in the program (for active-duty participants). Be willing to relocate to industry hiring partner locations after leaving the service. Have a mechanical aptitude and interest in working in the aerospace industry. Meet Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University admission requirements
