The Transitioning Military Training Program assists transitioning military members with refining the skills that they’ve gained through their military service to match the demands of employers throughout the region.
Nationally recognized certifications are becoming increasingly important to job seekers. Prior service members have a wealth of experience and possess many traits desired by employers, but often have difficulty landing jobs because they lack certifications that document and formalize their experience and abilities. The Technical College of the Low Country is pleased to announce three no cost* programs for transitioning military members and veterans that grant or lead to nationally recognized certifications:
The Airframe & Powerplant Certification Prep Course includes three weeks of classroom instruction and hands on practical application that will prepare former military aircraft mechanics for the written, oral and practical FAA examinations. The course also includes a brief manufacturing overview. The classes meet in the evenings and on two Saturdays, but the written exams are only given during normal working hours. The schedule is designed to allow you to take only the classes that correspond with the certification you are seeking (Airframe, Powerplant or Airframe & Powerplant). The next course will be held 3 June 2013.
