The Aircraft Maintenance Technician program at Minneapolis College will train you to do extensive service, repair, and detailed inspections on all types of aircraft while satisfying Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. The curriculum covers the material and delivers the clock hours needed to prepare you for the FAA's Aircraft & Powerplant (A&P) licensing examinations.
The Aircraft Maintenance Technician program at Minneapolis College dates back to WWII, when it prepared technicians to work in Northwest Airlines' Modification Center at Holman Field, where aircraft were modified for a variety of military tasks.
In 2013, Minneapolis College launched a public-private relationship with Delta Air Lines/Endeavor Air after receiving a grant from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development to relocate its program to Delta premises.
Our current teachers are all Minneapolis College graduates with substantial experience in general and commercial flying.
