Aircraft mechanics and avionics technicians inspect, test and repair aircraft and their systems. Most train at an FAA-approved aviation maintenance technician school, some in a two-year degree, and most are certified by the FAA; employers often prefer mechanics with both the airframe and powerplant (A&P) ratings.¹ For the FAA mechanic certificate you must be at least 18, read, write, speak and understand English, and pass written, oral and practical tests.²

In Georgia, 27 of the 29 programs ask for a high school diploma or equivalent and 2 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 29 programs here are aviation maintenance (associate degree, 6 programs), aircraft structures and assembly (6 programs), airframe or powerplant only (6 programs), A&P certificate or diploma (4 programs), and 7 more of 2 other kinds.

Where the Georgia aviation maintenance program numbers come from

Which Georgia aviation maintenance programs are on this list?

These are the aviation maintenance programs Georgia approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).¹⁰ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Georgia offers.

How the prices and results of Georgia aviation maintenance programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
