This class of students began one year later in April 2024. To see them graduate now, fully qualified as A&amp;Ps, is a real thrill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CVG Campus Director Jon Luck added, \u201cThese students trained for 19 months. Most of the training Is hands-on and working on actual aircraft. They learned how to inspect, repair, and maintain aircraft to FAA standards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, there are 12 full-time instructors on site training approximately 100 students. The next class will begin training at the CVG campus on February 16, 2026.
