Embry-Riddle Offers Online Logistics, Safety, and Aircraft Maintenance Certificate Programs
Daytona Beach, Fla., Oct. 23, 2001 -- Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Extended Campus is now offering online delivery of its certificate programs in logistics, safety, and aircraft maintenance (FAR Part 65).
The logistics certificate program provides an introductory overview of the procuring, maintaining, and transporting of material, personnel, and facilities. The focus of the safety certificate program is on entry-level knowledge of aviation and aerospace safety systems. The aircraft maintenance certificate program prepares the student for the FAA general examination that must be passed before pursuing an airframe and powerplant license.
The online certificate programs are designed to help working aviation professionals anywhere in the world acquire current knowledge and skills in these fields when and where it is most convenient for them. Using web-based instructional software, students are able to download and upload assignments, check their progress in a course, access library and other research materials, and interact with professors and fellow students.
Credit may be given for coursework completed at other colleges and universities and for documented prior experiential learning. Academic credits earned in the logistics, safety, and aircraft maintenance certificate programs may be applied toward an Embry-Riddle degree.
The three online certificate programs join five web-based degree programs offered by Embry-Riddle. They are associate and bachelor's degrees in professional aeronautics; a bachelor's in the management of technical operations; a master's in aeronautical science with a specialization in aviation management, aviation operations, aviation safety systems, or human factors in aviation; and an MBA in aviation.
Embry-Riddle's Extended Campus provides opportunities for professionals working in civilian and military aviation and aerospace careers to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees. Students may complete coursework at more than 150 U.S. and European teaching centers located at or near major aviation facilities or enroll in many of the same programs through distance learning.
Students enrolled through the Extended Campus receive personalized academic advisement whether they take their classes in the classroom or through distance learning.
