A&P Pricing
Three pathways. Same FAA outcome.
Written, Practical Only, or Complete. Pick the level of support that fits where you are.
Earning Potential
How fast it pays for itself
FAA A&P starting comp typically runs $70K+/year (≈ $269/day at 5 days/week). At that rate, every tier pays back in under two weeks of work.
Written (financed)
~4 days
of A&P work covers $843
Practical Only (financed)
~6 days
of A&P work covers $1,585
Complete (financed)
~8 days
of A&P work covers $2,115
$70K+
Typical year-1 comp at airlines, MROs, or military maintenance contractors
$90K–$130K
3–5 years in at Delta TechOps, FedEx, United, Lufthansa Technik
No expiration
FAA A&P certificate is yours for life — earned once, never renewed
Payback math assumes $70K/year (~$269/day, 5-day work week) on financed tuition (6-month plan, 6% fee). Actual comp varies by employer, location, and shift differentials.
Real-Money Savings
What you don't spend by training from home
90% of the program is self-paced from home. Compared to a typical 2-week away program in Fresno, here's the cash you keep in your pocket.
Skip the hotel & per diem
~$2,800
- Hotel · 14 nights × $130$1,820
- Per-diem meals · 14 days × $70$980
- Total avoided$2,800
Keep working while you study
+$1,600
- Hourly wage$20/hr
- Hours preserved · 10 days × 8 hr80 hr
- Wages kept$1,600
Combined real-money savings
~$4,400
less out-of-pocket vs a 2-week away program — before tuition, before the $70K+ A&P comp kicks in
Assumptions: Fresno 2–3 star hotel ~$130/night (Hampton Inn / Best Western range, weekday); GSA M&IE per diem ~$70/day (Fresno is a non-standard CONUS area); 14 calendar days for a traditional 2-week away program; 10 working days at $20/hr × 8 hr/day for the wages-preserved figure (assumes you'd otherwise take 2 weeks unpaid PTO). Your numbers will vary — pull yours in the funding guide.
