Your testing location is already decided: we're right here

Most students waste time hunting for an approved testing location. At Triad Aviation Academy, you don't have to. Our FAA-approved PSI Testing Center is inside our facility at 1030 PTI Drive, within the Piedmont Triad International Airport.

Multiple testing stations, experienced staff, and a setting you already know, so you can walk in focused, not frazzled. We're also open to aviation students from surrounding colleges and universities, and to all flight and A&P mechanic students, regardless of where you're training.
