Standard
Number: AO04-02-01 (Admission Requirements)
Statewide
admission requirements are implemented for the Avionics Maintenance Technology, Diploma program.
Admission
refers to regular admission into a Diploma program.
Statewide
program admission requirements consider state and national occupational
licensing and certifying requirements, where applicable. The institution
develops and implements clearly stated Diploma program admissions policies and
procedures.
Admission
requirements are related to the functions of the Avionics Maintenance
Technology, Diploma profession.
The
institution develops, implements, and publishes clearly stated Avionics
Maintenance Technology, Diploma program admission and advanced placement
policies and procedures.
The
requirements for admission to the Avionics Maintenance Technology, Diploma
program are:
a. attainment
of 16 years of age;
b. documentation
of high school graduation or satisfaction of High School Equivalency
Certificate requirements;
c. achievement
of minimum regular admission scores on tests of reading, language, and math as
specified in GDTAE document Minimum Program Entrance Scores; and
d. completion of
application and related procedures.
Admission
of transfer students to the Avionics Maintenance Technology program is
contingent upon their meeting the following requirements:
a. regular
admission and good standing at a regionally accredited FAA approved diploma or degree
granting institution; and
b. proper
completion of application and related procedures.
Standard Number: AO04-02-04 (Provisional Admission
Requirements)
Statewide
provisional admission requirements are implemented for the Avionics Maintenance
Technology, Diploma program.

admitted students are allowed to take developmental studies courses and/or
certain occupational courses as designated in the course sequence standard.
The
institution develops, implements, and publishes clearly stated policies and
procedures for entry into programs on a provisional basis.
Provisional
admission to the Avionics Maintenance Technology, Diploma program is afforded
those students who do not meet program requirements but do meet provisional
admission requirements.
The
requirements for provisional admission to the Avionics Maintenance Technology,
Diploma program are:
a. attainment
of 16 years of age;

All
Avionics Maintenance Technology, Diploma program students initially admitted on
a provisional basis meet regular admission requirements prior to graduation.
Provisionally
admitted students whose English, math, and/or reading achievement levels do not
meet regular program admission requirements are required to enroll in
developmental studies courses approved by the State Board of Technical and
Adult Education.
Standard Number: AO04-03-02 (Program Numbering System)
A
Major Code of AO04 and a CIP Code of
47.0609 are applied to the Avionics Maintenance Technology, Diploma program.
Assignment
of a statewide Major Code AO04 and CIP Code 47.0609
to the Diploma program is the basis from which statewide programmatic
consistency is developed.
Each
degree/diploma/certificate program complies with the assigned Major Code(s)
established in the relevant program-specific standards of the State Board of
Technical and Adult Education.
Each
authorized degree/diploma/certificate program is assigned a Major Code and CIP
Code.
Each
degree/diploma/certificate program having a given Major Code is consistent with
all other programs throughout the state that have the same Major Code.
Degree/diploma/certificate
programs having multiple specializations are assigned a specialization Major
Code for each option.
Standard Number: AO04-03-03 (Program
Consistency and Sequence)
The
Avionics Maintenance Technology, Diploma program utilizes essential course
components consistent with statewide program requirements. Specific course alphanumeric identification
Codes are assigned to each course.
Students are required to progress through two course categories in a
developmentally valid sequence.
Programs
are assigned an identical Major Code AO04 and are consistent statewide. Each specific course is assigned an
alphanumeric descriptor that serves as a statewide course identification code.
The
Avionics Maintenance Technology, Diploma program is assigned a Major Code of AO04, and utilizes
essential components designated for that program number statewide. Program components include, but are not
limited to:
Avionics
Maintenance Technology, Diploma
The Avionics
Maintenance Technology program is a sequence of courses designed to prepare
students to work in the field of avionics maintenance technology. Learning opportunities develop academic,
technical, and professional knowledge and skills required for job acquisition,
retention, and advancement. The program
emphasizes a combination of aircraft and avionics theory and practical
application necessary for successful employment. Program graduates receive an Avionics
Maintenance Technology diploma that qualifies them as avionics technicians.
