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.

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.
