Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the A&P program cost?

Tuition is $39,539, covering tuition, books, lab and app fees, tool rental, and your FAA written and DME exam fees. Housing is extra, about $9,000 for the full program.

How long does it take?

10 months in the day or night program. The hybrid program, starting January 25, 2027, takes about 20 months.

What's the hybrid program?

Live online theory three weeknights a week and one hands-on weekend day in Addison. It starts in 2027; see the hybrid page.

Do you offer night classes?

Yes, Monday to Friday, 4 PM to 12 AM, with the same labs and instruction as days. Night classes run at Addison now, and Conroe and Mesa add them in January 2027.

Do I need experience?

No. Many students start with none.

Is there an entrance exam?

No. You need a high school diploma or GED, to be 18 or older, English, and an admissions interview.

Can financing cover everything?

Often, but not always. It depends on the lender and your credit. Sallie Mae and Stratus are our partners, and a co-signer helps.

Can I use a 529 plan?

Yes. Since August 2025, 529 plans can pay for FAA-certified aircraft maintenance training.

Do you help with jobs?

Yes. We help with resumes and job searches and have relationships with employers in the area. No school can guarantee a job.

Do I work on real aircraft?

Yes. A big share of the program is hands-on, in the hangar, on aircraft engines and airframes.

What do I need to bring?

A laptop or iPad. Textbooks, lab fees and tool rental are in tuition.

Can I sit in on a class first?

Yes, for a day, free. Admissions sets it up.
