Yuut Elitnaurviat is proud to announce the first graduates of our FAA-certified Yuut Elitnaurviat Aviation Maintenance Technician Program. Our state of the art facilities are ready and waiting for our third cohort of students.
Certified Aircraft mechanics are in high demand both here in the Y-K Delta and nationwide. To become certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), students must pass knowledge and practical tests which give them an Airframe and Powerplant license. Our 18-month intensive program prepares you for one of aviation’s most sought after credentials and it is being delivered right here in Bethel, Alaska.
Yuut Elitnaurviat is currently recruiting students ready to take advantage of this world class opportunity. Classes began in July 2021 and run continuously through February 2023. Reserve your seat for the 2023 class! We are looking for students who:
1) Love working with their hands
2) Have a high school diploma or GED
3) Meet TABE Test standards for reading and math (We can tutor those who are close!)
4) Are ready to commit to a full-time, 18-month program
5) Can pass FAA required drug screening
6) Are ready for a full-time, high-wage, high-demand career in aviation
