Career Growth
Why Work on My A&P?
The A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) is a lifetime federal certification issued by the FAA. Once earned, it does not expire and grants legal authority to perform maintenance on aircraft and their components.
For many aviation professionals, earning an A&P is about expanding career options, increasing long-term stability, and gaining a credential with lasting value across the industry.
Focused FAA Exam Review
At AMT Schools, we help aviation maintenance professionals leverage their existing experience through focused FAA exam review and knowledge and skills strengthening.
We are not a Part 147 school. Our focus is helping individuals who are eligible to test turn their maintenance experience into confident performance on the FAA written, oral, and practical exams.
Ten years in, ten to go. Comfortable. No real rush, right?
Here’s the truth: the longer you wait, the more you’re leaving on the table. Every year you hold your A&P while still in uniform makes your resume stronger. Ten years of experience beats two every single time.
Build real experience while you’re still getting paid by the Army. That’s a no-brainer. Don’t wait until you’re getting out. Get your A&P now.
