Are you still planning to do that?

"•Most mechanics learn their skills from aviation maintenance
technician schools approved by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA). Training programs generally last 12 to 24 months, although some
schools also offer 2- and 4-year degrees. A small number of mechanics
receive their training on-the-job from experienced mechanics. However,
due to FAA rules, their work must be supervised and documented by
certified mechanics until they become FAA-certified. Consequently,
most employers only hire FAA-certified mechanics.

Certification
•The FAA requires that all mechanics who perform maintenance work on
aircrafts be certified or perform the work under the supervision of a
certified mechanic. The FAA offers certifications in airframe
mechanics (A license) for airplane body work, and powerplant mechanics
(P license) for engine work. Some mechanics obtain either the A or P
license.


To qualify for certification, in general a candidate must be at least
18 years of age, able to read and write English, and pass written,
practical and oral tests. To maintain their certification, mechanics
must have accumulated at least 1,000 hours of work experience in the
previous two-year period or take a refresher course."
