In a word, No.
First of all, you can become an airframe mechanic ("A") a powerplant
mechanic ("P") or an Airframe and powerplant mechanic (You guessed it,
"A&P")
To become either an "A" or "P" you must pass a written, aural and
practical
test in each of your chosen letter designation and "general"
categories. To take these tests you must be able to demonstrate that you
have at least 18 months (40 hour weeks) of relevant experience. To get
the
other letter, you take written, verbal and practical tests in that field,
after getting an additional 12 months of relevant experience. Note that
you cannot take the airframe tests after working in an engine overhaul
center.
You can shortcut the hours if you attend an FAA approved part 147 school.
A
fast track school can get you through in 18 months. Plan on immersion
therapy. A college program can get you an associate degree in 5
semesters;
2 school years and summer classes.
