Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics (PIA) is a technical school focused on preparing students for careers in aviation maintenance and electronics. Founded in 1929, PIA provides hands-on training at its main campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and branch campuses in Hagerstown, Maryland; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Youngstown, Ohio. Forbes ranked the school among the top two-year trade schools in 2018.
PIA offers two career-oriented programs. Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) is available as a 20-month Associate of Specialized Technology degree in Pittsburgh or a 16-month diploma or certificate at the branch campuses.
