Why study Aviation Maintenance at MC?

“Because of our combined staff experience totaling over 100 years. Students enroll in our AMT Program for several reasons, one because our certificates and degrees open doors to great careers in air traffic control, avionics, and the FAA, or as a pilot. Other reasons include job availability and good pay upon completion."

PLEASE NOTE: Completion of Midland College degrees and/or certificates does not guarantee eligibility to take a certification/registry/licensure examination. The eligibility of each person is determined on an individual basis by the regulatory body of the specific discipline. If you have a conviction of a crime other than a minor traffic violation, physical or mental disability/illness, hospitalization/treatment for chemical dependency within the past five years, current intemperate use of drugs or alcohol or a previous denial of a licensure or action by a licensing authority, you will need to contact the specific regulatory body for an individual ruling. Some programs require a criminal background check and urine and drug screen.
