About Redstone College/Redstone Institute

Redstone is a successful organization of postsecondary learning institutions that offers hands-on, career-focused educational programs. Our primary goal is to prepare students for rewarding jobs in high-demand careers. As opportunities are recognized in high-demand career fields, Redstone develops new programs with the cooperation of industry leaders. These programs are designed to meet the needs of our students, graduates and the employers who hire them.

Common employers who have been hiring our Advanced Electronics Technology (Avionics) graduates have been:
• FAA FAR 145 Repair Stations
• Aircraft Manufacturers
• Equipment Manufacturers
• Third Party Maintenance Facilities
• Flight Simulator Manufacturers
• Helicopter Operators
• Commuter and Air Taxi Operators
• Flight School Operators
• Military Contractors
• Avionics Shops


Driving Forces for Avionics Technician Employment:

• Rapidly advancing technology in electronics, computerization, digital, software and satellite aircraft systems. Technicians are truly becoming aircraft computer managers. Just think where we will be in another five years!

• Baby Boomers are starting to retire in large numbers!

• Extensive employment opportunities with Avionics Installation and Modification Skills (Taking out the old analog systems and installing the new digital computerized systems).


The Accelerated Difference

At Redstone you can complete the A&P or AET(A) programs in as little as 18 months. This means less time learning a career and more time earning money in your career.

Flexible Enough to Fit Anyone's Life
You may be wondering if you have the time to go back to school. Redstone offers day and night schedules to fit your busy life. No matter how packed your life may be, we'll find a program that will fit your schedule. Schedule options may vary by campus and program.

It's Hands-on

At Redstone, you won't only learn the information you'll need to succeed in your new career, you'll learn the real-world skills that set Redstone graduates apart. As an Avionics Technician you will install, inspect, repair and troubleshoot advanced aviation communication and navigation aircraft systems.

For example, the hands-on avionics coursework starts with work on a Boeing 727 trainer. From there, the track takes our students to the digital age by exposure to 737 systems, and to the fully computerized aircraft such as the Boeing 767 and 777.


Avionics Means Helicopters Too!
The following companies are some of the types of companies that hire Redstone graduates:
• Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters
• Columbia Helicopters
• DynCorp
• Petroleum Helicopters

Career Development, Even After Graduation
Even after you've graduated from your program, our Career Development Specialist will still be there for you. Redstone's Career Development Departments, located at each campus, will help you in your quest to find a rewarding career in the field of your choice.

Update Your Skills with Tuition-Free Alumni Retraining
After graduation Redstone wants to help you keep pace with the ever-changing careers of today and tomorrow. What does this mean? This means you can update your skills any time after graduation by taking classes in the program you graduated in, with no additional tuition charge (books, tools and lab fees may apply).
