A&P Mechanic Institute Admissions
Getting started is simple — and we’ll guide you every step of the way.
Aviation Mechanic School Tuition and Requirements
Investing in your education is an investment in your future. Understanding aircraft mechanic school tuition and the associated A&P school costs is a key step in getting started. While specific costs vary, A&P Mechanic Institute offers multiple paths to a high-demand career.
Our program is structured into three segments of training, leading to FAA-approved A&P Mechanic Certification after passing follow-up examinations. We focus on providing hands-on experience and expert-level instruction that translates directly into career readiness.
Tuition costs $36,000, including textbooks and exams, and this is competitive with other aviation mechanic schools nationwide. Students must cover their own housing expenses. The national average salary for aircraft and avionics equipment mechanics and technicians is approximately $79,140 per year, meaning A&P Mechanic Institute provides a strong return on investment.
To receive a mechanic certificate, a person should:
Have a high school diploma or GED equivalent.
Be at least 18 years of age.
Be able to read, write, speak and understand the English language.
Have a passion for aviation and a mechanical aptitude.
We have an assessment exam that each prospective student must take to ensure they meet these criteria. The age limitation indicates the applicant must be 18 years old at the time of the oral and practical examinations. They can start training at age 17 and take the exams once they turn 18. Our admissions team is happy to provide personalized guidance for your specific situation.
