Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) Program
The instructors on Redstone's Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) program have industry expertise, enabling students to build connections that give them a competitive advantage. The A&P Program at Redstone College is fully certified by the Federal Aviation Administration in accordance with 14CFR Part 147. This means that students should be prepared to take the FAA certification exam in 18 months or over, and be prepared for an entry-level position in the airframe and powerplant industry.
Many of Redstone's classes take place in simulated work environments so students gain experience in the skills required to help attract employers and succeed. Redstone can help you pursue your goals if you want to get an airframe and powerplant license.
