Our Take

Central Georgia Tech suits Macon and Warner Robins residents, including Robins AFB personnel and families, who want a TCSG program close to home with Delta TechOps connections. The drawback is information: the college does not publish credit totals, terms, start dates or class times in a form we could verify, so contact the program before planning around it.

What You Will Actually Pay

Tuition is $107 per credit for Georgia residents and $214 for out-of-state students, plus $450 per semester in fees. If the A&P certificate follows the 81-credit statewide curriculum over six semesters, that is about $8,667 in tuition and $2,700 in fees before aid. Georgia residents in TCSG certificate and diploma programs can have tuition covered by the HOPE Grant, so most pay only fees, tools and books.


Partners

As a Delta TechOps preferred training institution, the program gets serviceable parts, engines and airframes from Delta, plus tours and job shadowing. The college has also cited cooperative agreements with Robins AFB, the Museum of Aviation and regional maintenance employers.
