Norfolk is where we got our start; it’s home to the original AIM campus. We chose this city to begin setting the standard for aviation education, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we continue to bring to the table.

About AIM’s Norfolk, VA Campus
Norfolk’s roots in aviation run deep. The city serves as the headquarters of the largest naval base in the world and a major hub for both commercial and cargo flights.
AIM landed in Norfolk in 1994, operating as Tidewater Tech next to Norfolk International Airport. Since then, we’ve continuously built and rebuilt our facilities—and moved to a larger location—to provide the best learning experience possible.
