On May 1, 2008, operation of the ATC transferred from Cowley College to Wichita Area Technical College (WATC).
The ATC can turn you into a welding, wiring, tweaking, tuning Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) technician in just 18 months. A&P licensed mechanics are the cream of the crop. They work where they want, when they want.
It is a challenge, but with challenges come rewards. You will learn hydraulics, electrical, engines, avionics, fuel systems and everything else it takes to keep high performance aircraft running smoothly. And it's not just aviation, cruise lines, thrill rides, NASCAR — they are all looking for A&P mechanics. Why? Because they know that anyone who can complete A&P training has what it takes. Do you?
