This SkillBridge Apprenticeship is designed to help transitioning service members bridge their Military Aircraft Maintenance experience with the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Title 14CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 145 requirements. The program requires the applicant to complete On-The-Job Training (OJT) to prepare for FAA testing and certification. If an A&P is not obtained within the apprenticeship timeline, our proven Troops-to-Technicians Program will be offered to guide the new employee through the remainder of the certification process.
