What is an In-Person Plus program?
Program-required courses are taught through a combination of in-person and remote delivery. Remote learning may require meeting at a specific time or may not have a specific class time; all weekly interactions and assignments for remote courses are completed through a learning site.

What You’ll Learn
You must hold an A&P certificate before you enter the program. Students without an A&P certificate can enroll in the program at Burlington Technical Center or another site offering this certificate program. After completion of your A&P certificate, you can enroll in GenEd courses at Vermont State to earn your A.A.S. degree.
Dual-enrollment students: You can take GenEds as a non-degree student in dual enrollment while you are in high school, while working on your aircraft mechanic certificate. In some scenarios, this would allow you to complete your degree in one semester.
A two-year degree will help you to stand out in the job market, while the connections you’ll make will open up fieldwork and internship opportunities across the state.
