The NAA Difference

There’s a reason NAA is one of a select number of approved airframe and powerplant (A&P) training schools in the United States  – quality training. We offer an educational experience, modern facilities, and amazing campus locations.

As a traditional applicant, you’ve completed high school, or your GED, and are ready for your first post-secondary educational experience. The good news: our training is much different from a 4-year college. One of the big differences? It can be completed in as little as 14 months!

NAA training is also an excellent option for anyone seeking a career change. Our programs are hands-on, career-focused, and opens doors to the aviation industry. As an NAA graduate, you’ll have access to in-demand, skilled positions in aviation maintenance, and career placement assistance.

We look forward to welcoming you as an NAA student!
