The Aviation Technician Education Council (ATEC) was founded in 1961. Its mission is to promote and support aviation maintenance technician education, with the ultimate goal of enabling the aerospace community to meet its workforce needs. The council actively engages with regulatory bodies to support an infrastructure that will create high quality technicians, provides resources, continuing education and networking opportunities to learning institutions, keeps the community informed of activities that impact technician education, and promotes careers in aviation maintenance.
ATEC membership is made up of aviation employers, vendors and educational institutions with maintenance technician programs. Our core members are Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools (AMTS) certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations part 147.
