If you like aviation and are looking for a skilled trade that is in demand,* Avionics may be the perfect career path for you.
Today's commercial and civil aircraft rely on sophisticated electronic components and systems. Communications and navigation systems, flight management computers, digital instrumentation, GPS, weather radar systems, and heads-up display (HUD) systems are all highly specialized, requiring skilled professionals for efficient installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
As a result, there is demand* for qualified technicians to work with and repair these advanced electronics and avionics systems. But breaking into this demanding field takes more than desire - it takes an education.
Job opportunities for Avionics Technicians are expected to be good. "Technicians who are cross-trained and able to work with complex aircraft systems should have the best job prospects…Technicians with licensing that enables them to work on the airplane, either removing or reinstalling equipment, are expected to be in especially high demand."*
Our Avionics program offers you industry expertise and connections that help prepare you to make a secure living while doing something you want to do. It helps prepare you to get an entry-level position in the industry and take the FAA certification exam in under 18 months. Many of your hands-on classes will take place in simulated work environments, so you get the skills and experience you need to help attract employers-and succeed.
Our Advanced Electronics Technology program first covers basic electronics theory then advances to a hands-on focus on Avionics Systems. It includes 2,100 hours of classroom and laboratory training that teaches you how to troubleshoot and repair communications systems, navigation systems, autopilot, collision avoidance systems, and more.
