The Southern Utah University’s Aviation department is spearheading an effort to update the aviation maintenance curriculum the FAA requires all U.S. training providers to use. The Cedar City-based University claims the curriculum has not been adequately updated in more than 56 years. According to SUU, “aviation students are not prepared for real world jobs because they have been learning [from an] outdated curriculum that hasn’t been relevant in years.” Schools are required to follow the outdated curriculum without changes and the lack of relevant training has put the onus of training on employers.
