ARLINGTON, Va. (Sept. 20, 2023) – The Irving, Texas campus of Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) has been recognized by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) as a 2022-2023 School of Distinction. During their annual three-day Professional Development Conference, ACCSC recognizes accredited institutions that have demonstrated a commitment to the expectations and rigors of accreditation as well as a commitment to delivering quality educational programs.
AIM Irving received Initial Accreditation from ACCSC in 2001 and was recently reaccredited for a 5-year period beginning in 2021. The School of Distinction designation reflects AIM Irving’s commitment to maintaining high standards of education and training, as demonstrated by successfully completing the reaccreditation process and satisfying all criteria required to be in good standing with the Commission.
Chris Coley, Campus Executive Director, says, “At Aviation Institute of Maintenance, we are thrilled to receive this recognition from ACCSC. This is a huge nod of approval from our accreditor as we strive to be the best FAA 147 school we can be. This is definitely a step in that direction and shows our commitment to excellence in our operations and outcomes we strive to achieve for our students. We are excited and honored to receive this award.”
AIM Irving provides hands-on aviation maintenance training to a current population of over 400 students who will have the opportunity to become Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-certificated Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMT) upon completion of AIM’s 21-month program and the FAA examinations. Boeing predicts a need for 125,000 technicians in North America from 2023-2042 and AIM’s 14 campuses are focused on providing training and building the pipeline of future aircraft mechanics.
