Avionics
Today avionics systems are an integral part of aircraft design and have vastly increased aircraft capability. As a result, the growing use of technology in aviation is requiring technicians to spend more time on repairing electronic systems, such as computerized controls. Today’s technicians are required to analyze and develop solutions to complex electronic problems. Avionics technicians repair and maintain components and systems used for aircraft navigation, radio communications, weather radar systems, and other instruments and computers that control flight, engine, and other primary functions. Broward College's Aviation Institute is proud to offer a 720 hour (two terms) certificate program in Avionics. State of the art NIDA training equipment is utilized for this program and FCC testing is available on site.
Our avionics is a blended program that meets twice weekly (6:00 to 10:00 p.m.) on campus and three times a week online. On campus days will be dedicated to NIDA electronics labs, aircraft visits and projects. Click here to see program of study from our catalog.
