Mohawk Valley Community College A & P Prep CourseLocation of course:116 Langley RoadRome, NY 13441Show at 0800 on the start day. Bring two copies of completed FAA Form 8610-2 and Memorandum ofExperience letter (MOE). Also bring anything you desire for note taking/book marking (i.e. pens/pencils,notebooks, highlighters, sticky tabs, post it notes). You will be supplied all the publications required forthe class on the first day. Cost of the books is 165. It’s a lot of publications so I recommend bringing alarge backpack. The course is 10 days (two weeks). Class normally goes from 0800 to 1630 Mondaythrough Friday.The examination consists of three written tests, which will be performed at the laser lab on the airfield,and an oral & practical (O&P) examinations in the General, Airframe, and Powerplant subject areas.Written tests are multiple choice and are performed on a computer. The three written test are:General, Airframe, and Powerplant. There are three ways of studying for the test: 1. Smart phone app’savailable by ASA, 2. Computer prepware software, and 3. Study books received on day 1 of the course.Computer prepware software for studying and taking practice test is available during the course. Youmust satisfactorily pass all written test prior to doing the O&P. Passing score is 70%. I recommend youbegin studying one of the subjects and be ready to take the test prior to attending the first day of thecourse. This will provide you ample time to complete the other two tests during the two week course. Ialso recommend you schedule your O&P sooner rather than later. It’s a high intensity course, and youwill quickly forget the practical tasks that you learn. “Things most recently learned are bestremembered. The further a student is removed time wise from a new fact or understanding, the moredifficult it is to remember.”The O&P will be performed with an FAA Designated Maintenance Examiner (DME). During the twoweek course, the instructors will concentrate on the practical tests, you will be expected to use thestudy guides to lean the oral questions. The O&P’s usually are completed in 6- 8 hours and must bescheduled with the DME.During the course, three personnel will stop by the classroom to assist with filling out the rest of thecourse documentation. The three personnel are: 1. VA rep to assist with filling out the GI Billpaperwork, 2. MVCC rep to enroll you as a student at MVCC, and 3. FAA rep to verify and sign your FAAForm 8610-2 forms. The GI Bill will cover the cost of the course. If you elect to pay for the course outof pocket, the cost of the course is 2,645.00 and 165 for books.Page 3 of 8
