Featured Career Pathways
Aviation Maintenance
The Aviation Maintenance program teaches the maintenance and repair of aircraft mechanical systems. Students are prepared for highly technical jobs in aviation mechanics. Students are guided through hands-on training by experienced instructors who ensure students are job-ready. ALA-AT offers testing for industry certification with the Federal Aviation Administration. This is a four-year program.
Air Transportation
In the ground portion of flight school, students can earn their FAA private pilot certificate in a single-engine aircraft.
