Concentration Track Descriptions

Listed below are each of the course descriptions that students

are eligible to take when they are selected for the academy.

Aviation Technology – Students learn the terminology, concepts and procedures through

hands-on experiences that blend in the dynamics of the aircraft. By completing this sequence they are enabled to prepared for taking the General Maintenance Technician certification.

Aviation Flight Operations – The vital and pertinent knowledge of everything from

learning to fly aircraft itself to the actual operations of an airport. Courses also involve understanding the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines where this information will prepare them to take the FAA Air Traffic Control exam.

Aviation – Professional – There is nothing like working at the place you want to be while

pursuing your education! Here students carry their knowledge obtained from classes and fuse it with current practices and experiences.

Aviation Aerospace – Dual credit can be earned through this concentration. Here

students are taught A+ coursework where their programming knowledge allows them to be eligible for the Comp TIA A+ certification exam and/or Microsoft Technology Associate which is accepted nationally in this field.

All students will follow the advanced diploma track in addition to the Aviation electives. The following pages outline the four course concentration tracks with electives that are strongly encouraged based upon their course of study listed above.
