Spartan offers the FIRST EVER FAA approved Aviation Maintenance Technology program option delivered partially online! This hybrid online AMT program option is perfect for anyone looking to take the next step toward a future in Aviation Maintenance, with the added bonus of flexibility.
Are you always busy? Our Aviation Maintenance Technology online option is designed to be manageable even if you are working or you have a busy schedule. With our online training option, time on ground at our Tulsa campus is reduced to only 8 months. Are you active in the service? This program allows existing military personnel to train in-person in less than half the time traditionally required to prepare for Airframe & Powerplant Certification after leaving active duty.
What about international? If you are getting ready to make a big move, the first part of the program provides a more flexible schedule so you can focus on your schoolwork at your own pace. For the second on-campus portion, you can then relocate to Spartan’s Tulsa campus for your remaining training.
Training in our airplane mechanic program not only prepares you to earn your certification as an aircraft mechanic, but it can also provide you with a versatile skill set that is desired in other industries.

Spartan College’s Aviation Maintenance Technology courses may teach students the technical skills required to become an entry-level Airframe and Powerplant technician. If you’re searching for an aviation maintenance school that provides instruction and training for certifications, you can find it here.
This course covers the theory and operation of reciprocating engines. All internal components are studied, along with how each part functions. A reciprocating engine is disassembled, measured, reassembled, and timed. Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be able to explain the operation of a reciprocating engine.
In this course, aircraft sheet metal structures and different fastening methods are studied in detail. Students will accomplish a wide variety of lab projects leading to an understanding of subject material. Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to perform all basic tasks required of an aircraft maintenance technician related to metallic structures.
The theory, operation, and maintenance of aircraft hydraulic and pneumatic systems are covered. The troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair of both systems is stressed. Aircraft landing gears, including retraction systems, oleos, brakes, wheels, and tires, are also studied. This course also includes study of aircraft position and warning systems.
A&P Certification (Airframe & Powerplant License)
An Airframe & Powerplant certification, also known as the A&P License, is required for those who inspect, maintain, and repair aircraft. In Spartan’s aviation maintenance program hybrid online option, we can provide you with the hands-on aircraft maintenance training and knowledge needed to obtain your FAA A&P License. You can also gain confidence and interview skills by working with our career services team.
