If you have been searching for a path to distinguish yourself as a technical professional serving within the aerospace coatings industry.... CONGRATULATIONS, you have found it! ACI Tech is the original Aerospace Coatings Application Specialist (ACAS) training program that fully and unequivocally  conforms to the SAE AS7489 specification. SAE AS7489 is the international aerospace industry standard in establishing the mission critical knowledge, skills, and abilities required for ACAS personnel to possess in order to be recognized as technically competent in the discipline of aviation-grade coatings surface preparation and application. Any aircraft paint "training" program certificate that isn't linked to the industry standard is likely not worth the paper that it is printed on because it doesn't assure employers, customers, or aircraft passengers of anything definitive in regards to what you should know or what you are actually capable of doing. At ACI-Tech our training programs are defined by and directly linked to SAE AS7489 and therefore, there is absolutely no ambiguity surrounding what you should know or be capable of doing as a certified ACAS, once you have successfully completed any of the ACI-Tech training programs. Our sole focus is Aerospace Coatings and the Aviation industry. While it is often argued that surface preparation and coatings application is virtually the same for every type of industrial discipline, we strongly disagree! Due to the complexity of the materials and processes associated with coating something as sophisticated as an aircraft, we understand that this is NOT the same scope of work found in structural steel, marine, concrete, or other applications.   

Unlike other ACAS training programs available today, ACI-Tech training programs are exclusively recognized and accredited by FAA and are eligible for Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) credits upon successful completion.  That's the ACI-Tech difference. Welcome!
