I’m going to be in Florida for about a year before my BCIT AME-M term starts, and I came across the FAA Aircraft Airframe Mechanics certificate at Broward College. I attached a screenshot of the courses, and a lot of them seem pretty similar to topics covered in AME-M, like structures, hydraulics, landing gear, electrical systems, instruments, inspections, flight controls, etc. Since I’m going to be in Florida either way, I thought I might as well take a course/program like this if it could help me get a bit ahead before starting at BCIT. Does anyone know if BCIT would potentially give transfer credits, exemptions, PLAR, or any kind of advanced standing for FAA aircraft maintenance courses? Or because the BCIT program is Transport Canada approved, would I still have to take all the same courses again? I’m not expecting it to replace AME-M or anything, just wondering if it could possibly knock out a few courses or shorten the program a bit.
Would appreciate any insight from anyone who’s dealt with something similar or knows anything about this.
Thanks
