Program Information
At SSCC we train our student technicians in an industry-like setting
on our main campus and in a hangar facility at King County Airport
(Boeing Field). Students learn how to keep aircraft in peak operating
condition by performing maintenance and inspections required by
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Our classes consist of
a hands-on approach and focus on experiential learning. Their small
size ensures personalized one-on-one education from our experienced
instructors.
The internship program offered through South's Career Development
Services department can provide Aviation Maintenance Technology
students practical work experience and employment contacts by integrating
technical studies with on-the-job training situations. For more
information call (206-764-7935) or go to http://careerservices.southseattle.edu/internship.html.
Degree Options
We recommend that students complete the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.)
degree along with both the Airframe and Powerplant certificates.
Having all three provides students with a greater employment opportunities
and the ability to take advantage of technical transfer agreements
that South has with four-year institutions, such as Embry Riddle
Aeronautical University and Central Washington University.
