“The instructors are great. They are always there to help, and I feel very welcomed by all of them,” current 2022-23 Aviation Maintenance Technology student Nick Baird shared. “If there is anybody out there thinking about applying, grab the opportunity while it is in front of you.”

West-MEC’s Glendale Corporate Center is located at 5487 N. 99th Ave. West-MEC also has a Central Campus at 6997 N. Glen Harbor Blvd., in Glendale.
