The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officially recognizes your practical experience in aviation maintenance or manufacturing as the functional equivalent of graduating from an Aviation Maintenance Training School. (ref. 14 CFR §65.77) The FAA further recognizes that certain Military Occupational Specialty Codes automatically qualify you to take your tests, and other military specialties may qualify you as well.

AMTI’s 5,000 square foot climate-controlled facility includes a Media Room/Computer Learning Center and a Workshop to provide you with all the tools you need to pass your written, oral & practical tests. You have the choice of one or a combination of resources, depending on what works for you. Whether its lecture, video, computer or hands-on practical, the format choice is up to you. AMTI encourages self-paced test preparation to allow you to quickly reach your goal: an Airframe and Powerplant License.

IV. What is an A & P License?
An A & P License is the term for an FAA Airman Certificate with Mechanic: Airframe and Powerplant ratings. Holding this certificate grants you certain privileges as an individual or in an organization to “perform or supervise maintenance, preventative maintenance or alteration of an aircraft or appliance, or a part thereof” (ref. 14 CFR §65.81)
Depending upon your documented experience, you can earn your A (Mechanic: Airframe) or your P (Mechanic: Powerplant) separately. Since many maintenance operations send their engine work out, it is fairly common in the industry to see technicians with their A license only.
