Oklahoma CareerTech has chosen the SAE Institute/Professional
Aviation Maintenance Association (PAMA) Professional Certification
Program to provide advanced credentials for its aviation
maintenance students. The program works to provide state employers
with the skilled workforce needed to keep them and the state of
Oklahoma competitive on the global aerospace stage.
Oklahoma CareerTech will begin by implementing the SAE
Institute/PAMA Aviation Maintenance Specialist/Aviation Maintenance
Engineer Knowledge Assessments and certification exams. Aviation
maintenance instructors at several of its schools will be the first
to participate and non-FAA certified aviation maintenance students
will be among the first directed toward aviation maintenance
specialist certification.
"We are proud to have been selected by Oklahoma CareerTech to
provide advanced aviation maintenance credentials for its
students," Brian Finnegan, director, SAE Institute/PAMA
Certification Program, said. "We applaud CareerTech's Gordon Cooper
Technology Center in Shawnee, Okla., for taking such a strong role
in advancing technical excellence in the aviation maintenance
profession and we look forward to our partnership with them."
Gordon Cooper, Shawnee's astronaut native son, was one of NASA's
original seven in Project Mercury, the first manned-space effort by
the United States. "With the implementation of the SAE
Institute/PAMA Aviation Maintenance Certification program, we are
continuing Gordon Cooper's legacy of aerospace leadership," said
Orville Manuel, State Program Manager of Trade and Industrial
Programs for the Oklahoma Department of Career Tech.
Developed in adherence with industry consensus standards, the
SAE Institute/PAMA Professional Certification initially offers two
designations:
- Non-certified individuals can earn the Aviation Maintenance
Specialist (AMS) certification;
- FAA-certified Airframe and Powerplant Mechanics can earn the
Aviation Maintenance Engineer (AME) certification.
SAE Institute/PAMA's Aviation Maintenance Fundamentals
Certification Preparation and Technical Refresher Training Course
are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for
inspection authorization renewal and FAA Aviation Maintenance
Technician Awards credit.
