COMMERCIAL MRO 28 APRIL 2017 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY schools and community colleges, includ- ing many Part 147 schools, to facilitate the certification training. These certifi- cations usually involve 16 to 24 hours of instruction, and are weaved into the school's aviation maintenance curriculum. The certifications provide conformity and an across-the-board standard for the part- nering colleges and schools to teach in- depth instruction on tool use, theory, and application. Electrical Measurement (multimeter), Torque (mechanical and electronic), and the two newest courses, Structural and Sheet Metal Repair, and Precision Electrical Termination, which are debut- ing in select Part 147 schools later this year, are four applicable aviation-focused certifications offered through Snap- on's education program. The Precision Electrical Termination certification is a joint partnership between Snap-on and Daniels Manufacturing Corp.. Partnerships between the private sector and education institutions benefit every- one involved. From the schools' stand- point, it allows them to offer more highly specialized training on tools, equipment, and related disciplines, making them more attractive to prospective students. This collaboration helps create academic programs tailored to the current needs of the aviation industry — the more skills and certifications students can pick up in school, the more prepared they'll be for success when entering the workforce. This is the real benefit to students. When they apply for a job within the aviation industry, having these added skills on their resumes (on top of their degrees), makes them much more desirable candi- dates to fill the positions. Schools such as Wichita Area Technical College in Wichita, KS; Pima Community College in Tucson, AZ; Teterboro School of Aeronautics in Teterboro, NJ; and Wayne Community College in Goldsboro, NC, are just some of the schools partner- Reliable De-Ice Boot Source Reliable De-Ice Boot Source Reliable De-Ice Boot Source Reliable De-Ice Boot Source Ice Shield De-icing Systems offers… • Part for Part Replacement • Easy Installation • Technical Support • 48-hour Guarantee Delivery Ice Shield is a Faster, Better, Smarter way to protect your aircraft from icing.
