Airport Certified Employee Programs

In 2003-2004, AAAE introduced four, focused certification programs to benefit airport personnel at large, medium and small hub airports across the United States. Known as the Airport Certified Employee (ACE) programs, public-use airport and military personnel, in addition to those interested in the airport industry, may obtain a thorough and up-to-date education in four disciplines: Airfield Operations, Airfield Lighting Maintenance, Security and Communications. Those who pass a written exam will achieve the distinguished ACE designation.
