The start dates include August 2019, January 2020, and April 2020. The program runs for 12 months, and the 2019 program cost for a New York resident (without room and board costs) is $17,300, which includes the required tool set.
Students get “hands-on experience” with real equipment and four live jet aircraft, MVCC said. Based at MVCC’s Rome campus, the majority of instruction happens in the school’s aviation training center.
