Campus Facilities and Resources
Our campus features multiple classrooms, study spaces, break room, and hangar. In the classrooms, students receive daily instruction from experienced faculty, gaining the foundational knowledge required for success in the field.
The hangar is where students are able to practice new skills like wiring, sheet metal work, and engine maintenance. We keep a variety of aircraft and engines in our hangar to give students real world practice so they can build the basic skills they’ll need on the job.
Flexible Class Schedules
We understand the importance of flexibility in managing education and personal commitments. That’s why we offer both day and night classes to accommodate different schedules. Our day classes run from 8 AM to 3 PM, Monday through Friday, while night classes are held from 4 PM to 12 AM, Monday through Friday. This flexibility allows students to choose a schedule that best fits their lifestyle, making it easier to balance school with work or other responsibilities.
Supportive Community
We pride ourselves on our strong sense of camaraderie. Students quickly become part of a supportive network, collaborating on projects, forming study groups, and enjoying social activities together.
Thrust Institute provides comprehensive support services, including resume assistance, job search help, and tutoring when needed. While the workload is significant, requiring dedicated study and preparation for exams, many students successfully balance their studies with part-time jobs, thanks to the supportive environment and resources available.
