A program that is state or professionally certified leads to a “skilled” labor profession.
That says enough right there.
I was referring to the content and requirement of certification not the organization. A federal A&P is a lot easier to get than a state issued plumbing certificate. I wont debate the results of aircraft maintenance, they are good enough for most people. I did find the career to be a dirty dead end job unless you can bill customers directly. Then its a different kind of dirty. Aviation maintenance is more than a dark cloud, its a black hole! Stay away!
