It used to be that Parks College was a good school that offered an A&P program that took only 12 months. It's part of the St. Louis University and is probably pretty pricey. If time is of the essence then the 12 month program is probably the way to go. I went to Cheyenne Aero Tech, it was a 13 month program and they're long gone. It was about $12,500 but that was '93. It kind of depends on what you want to do with it. Good luck.

Don't overlook Eastern New Mexico University at Roswell. Four semesters and one summer session. If you're a resident there in the district, then the tuition is about six hundred bucks a semester.

They've got a great deal for those who want an associate degree and already hold a mechanic certificate, too. Four online classes only...and you can have your degree for the cost of those few classes.

You can also obtain your certification without going to a school. You'll need 30 months of practical working experience as an aircraft mechanic, at 40 hours a week of full time employment, attested to by certificated mechanics who personally know you did the work. If you have the option of attending a school, I strongly recommend you do that, instead.

Working for the experience isnt a bad idea. Make money, pay the bills, and get your licenses.

I know people that have made good money working for fuel tank repair companies. work as a tech for awhile, then get your repairman license. This license is only good for the repair station that you are working for, but the experience translates directly into the Airframe license. Take the tests, and then get your license.

Just stay away from Institute of Maintenance - Dallas Love Field. The worst

Tarrant county college. TCC in Fort Worth, Tx. Very good program, not sure on time frame but is a great school and is pretty cheap...like $4-6k at most. Unlike Spartan (close to $20k) or embry riddle and that crap. You dont need a place or dept like that.

Countbat,

Why do you believe that the Institute of Maintenance at Dallas is "the worst?" Did you go there and have personal experience as a student?

I went here back in the day:

They had dormitories back then but now I think you find your own housing.
