The Allegiant Air partnership. The Army National Guard collaboration. The veterans who passed every FAA exam on the first attempt. Here's the proof.
When an airline builds a military transition program or an instructor wants to sharpen a training course, they come to us.
Jason built Allegiant's military transition program and partnered with Code 1 to certify and place transitioning veterans into the airline's maintenance operation. The full pipeline: identify, certify, place.
Robertson teaches the A&P course for the Army National Guard in Marana, Arizona. He collaborated with Code 1 to sharpen the prep and close the gap between military experience and the FAA exams.
These are the veterans who showed up with years of military maintenance experience and walked out with their FAA A&P.
Spent years as a UH-60 helicopter repairer. Came through the Code 1 2-week program, passed General, Airframe, and Powerplant on the first sit. Signed offer with a regional carrier before leaving.
Air Force rotary-wing maintenance background. FSDO initially pushed back on the JST submission — we fixed the paperwork, he tested, passed, and landed a line mechanic role with a cargo MRO.
Carrier-based aviation experience. Used VR&E to fund the prep. Walked out of the DME's office with the A&P in hand and a conditional offer already on the table from a regional airline.
Years of CH-53 and V-22 airframe work. Thought he'd have to start over at an A&P school. Instead, two weeks of prep, three passing scores, and a hiring offer from a Part 145 repair station.
"I worked aircraft maintenance in the Army for years. Code 1 prepped me for all three FAA exams in two weeks. Passed every one on the first attempt. I've got a signed offer from a regional carrier now."
Now A&P at a regional carrier
"We had three experienced maintainers who couldn't sign off on work because they didn't have their A&P. Code 1 got all three certified in two weeks. Now they're fully productive on our floor."
Regional MRO — Southeast
"Joe's program did in two weeks what traditional channels couldn't do in six months. The prep was thorough, the guys passed, and they came back ready to work. It was that simple."
Cargo Carrier — Midwest
"VR&E covered the whole thing. Joe's team helped me with the paperwork my counselor needed. I didn't have to figure anything out alone. Two weeks later I had my cert."
Line mechanic, Part 145 repair station
"$5K per person to turn an uncertified tech into a fully licensed A&P mechanic? Compared to 18 months of school or the cost of leaving seats uncovered, it's a no-brainer."
Regional Airline — West Coast
"I thought I'd have to go back to school for two years. A buddy sent me to Code 1. Two weeks of focused prep, I walked out certified, and I'm working on heavy iron now. Wish I'd done this years ago."
Heavy maintenance A&P mechanic
Every week, more veterans walk out certified. Every month, more employers plug into the pipeline. There's room for you here.
