How I Became an Aircraft Mechanic in One Month

Thank you for purchasing The 3 Month Mechanic.


The 3 Month Mechanic has a lot of information that can help you, whether you're already working as an aircraft mechanic or if you're still just thinking about getting into this career.

In a moment you'll have access to all of that information, but first I want to talk to you more about how I actually became a mechanic, and how I did it in around one month.





As I discuss in The 3 Month Mechanic, when I first wanted to become an aircraft mechanic I thought I had to either join the military or go to college.

I had no clue that there was another way to become a mechanic.

And I’m not the only one, because I talk to people every week that are interested in this career field and they, too, have no clue that they don’t have to go to college or join the military to get started.

But you can do this, and the key is knowing where to find apprenticeship programs, and also how to get into them.

By joining the right apprenticeship program you can get the training you need and become an aircraft mechanic very, very quickly.





Back in 2008, in the apprenticeship program I joined I was making $12.15 an hour, or roughly $480 a week.

That was even before I began working in the hangar on actual aircraft.

Once I was actually working on aircraft at the repair station I was able to make even more, and my weekly checks were usually around $700.

That was amazing to me at the time, because even though it’s not a huge amount of money, it was a lot more than I had ever made in my life!





It was good because I had just graduated high school and I really wasn’t interested in having to go back to school so soon.

I was ready for a break. I was also ready to begin making some real money.

I also didn’t have the money for college at the time. I was flat broke, and I also didn’t want to have expensive student loans following me around for years.

Some people pay $50,000 or more for college to become an aircraft mechanic. Not all courses are that expensive, but most of them still cost thousands of dollars.

Becoming an apprentice will allow you to skip going to an expensive aviation college or technical school.







There are many different types of apprenticeship prgrams available to you, but some are much better than others.

To be successful and make the most money in this career, you need to make sure you join the RIGHT type of program before you sign up for one.

It took me a long time to figure out which apprenticeship programs are the BEST.





Once you know how to find a program, the next step is getting accepted.

It also took me a long time to figure out exactly what I needed to do to actually get into one of these programs.

There are some key steps you must take, and different programs can have different requirements.

But once you know what you need to do, getting into an apprenticeship program can actually be pretty simple.

Once I figured out how to do it, I was able to get started in just a few weeks.

In fact, the initial training only lasted a little more than a month.

I had just graduated high school 7 or 8 months before, and I was already working on large passenger planes and making $600 - $800 a week.





Becoming an aircraft mechanic apprentice will allow you to:

• Not have to join the military to get your training


• Not have to go to college


• Not pay anything to begin your career

Even if you’re already in the military or have attended a school, you can still take advantage of an apprenticeship program.
