Accelerated maintenance program debuts

By Janice Wood · February 16, 2009 ·

St. Petersburg College‘s Corporate Training Program and the National Aviation Academy (NAA) have developed an accelerated program in which aviation maintenance students can earn their degrees and certifications in 21 months.

Under the new program, students can earn NAA credentials, FAA certifications and an SPC Aviation Maintenance Management Technology Associate in Science degree in a little less than two years.

Students begin their studies in NAA’s Aviation Maintenance Technology Program and then move on to SPC’s Associate in Science program. Graduates will be eligible to transfer to SPC’s Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Technology Management.

The new program, which begins in March, incorporates SPC’s nine courses within NAA’s nine terms. Students will complete their SPC courses online and in classrooms at NAA’s Clearwater, Florida, campus.

For more information: NAA.edu or  SPCollege.edu
