MCC offers this program in conjunction with the SMAT in Ionia, Michigan. To gain admittance to SMAT’s program, students should contact SMAT directly, or see an MCC counselor to learn more about SMAT’s admission process.

The Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) Mechanics program is a one-year comprehensive program offered by SMAT. The program is FAA approved and provides training and preparation for the FAA written, oral, and practical mechanics tests. Students take all aviation maintenance courses from SMAT, and take all general education courses from MCC. Students must pass all SMAT courses with a grade of “C” or better. Once all SMAT coursework is complete, students are awarded 40 credits at MCC as the AVMA295 transfer course.

Upon completion of this 64-credit program students will receive an Associate of Applied Science Degree from MCC.
