A&P mechanic apprenticeships.

↳ 22 DOL-registered programs · 17 states

Aviation maintenance apprenticeships are paid, employer-sponsored training programs registered with the U.S. Department of Labor. Many qualify for GI Bill OJT benefits, and most lead to the same Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) certificate as a Part 147 school.

§ How it works

How aviation apprenticeships work

Step · 01

Get hired first

Unlike a Part 147 school, apprenticeships start with an employment offer. You apply to the sponsor — airline, MRO, or OEM — not a school.

Step · 02

Earn while you train

Apprentices receive a paycheck plus benefits from day one. Wages typically step up as you hit training milestones over 2–4 years.

Step · 03

Earn your A&P

On-the-job training hours count toward FAA experience requirements. You still sit for the FAA written, oral, and practical exams.
