Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMT) are an enlisted rating of the United States Coast Guard.
AMTs maintain Lockheed HC-130, HC-27J Spartan, CASA HC-144A Ocean Sentry, Sikorsky MH-60 Jayhawk and Eurocopter HH-65 Dolphin aircraft.
The advanced courses are taught at the Aviation Technical Training Centers in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, for all but the HC-130 aircraft.
An AMT may apply for the Aviation Maintenance Technology Program, which provides personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary to fill billets requiring a high level of technical expertise.
The program provides up to two years of full-time college attendance to achieve a minimum of an associate degree in aeronautical technology.
