Aviation Sheet Metal focuses on teaching basic aircraft structural skills. Students spend time in the classroom learning terminology, tools, equipment, blueprint reading and shop safety before moving into the shop for a hands-on experience. In-shop time includes various projects from learning to drill precise holes, to complex bend angles and installing numerous types of fasteners found within the aerospace industry. Training is performed primarily on assemblies and panels, workbenches and some actual aircraft components.
This is an entry-level course perfect for someone with no aviation experience wanting to start a career as a technician within a growing industry. Oklahoma aviation employers have drawn more aviation sheet metal mechanics from our Aviation Sheet Metal training program than any other since 2006. These materials require skilled technicians, and completing this course can help ensure your entry into a successful, growing aerospace industry.
If you are a company needing a customized or advanced Aviation Sheet Metal training course, please feel free to reach out to our WED Department for more information.
