Some aviation classes have lab fees . Fees are subject to change at the discretion of the Community College of Baltimore County.

Program Outcomes


Upon successful completion of this certificate, students will be able to:

  1. apply FAA and NTSB regulations and other aeronautical and security guidelines appropriately in various aviation and safety settings;
  2. perform basic air traffic controller duties in low-density traffic scenarios; and
  3. speak and communicate clearly and decisively using standard industry pilot-controller phraseology.
