The empirical investigation focused on ascertaining the management of WCC Aeronautical and Technological College and identifying the problems met in line with the processes and practices alongside the operation of the said entity. The researcher adopted the descriptive cross-sectional design with the aid of a questionnaire-checklist as main instrument in gathering data. The respondents in the study were the eight Department Heads, ten program heads, one Campus Director, and two Academic Heads. The findings of the study showed that the management of Binalonan Campus moderately practiced organizing, while the management of North Manila Campus satisfactorily practiced organizing. The extent of managerial practices and process implementation as to directing in the management of the WCC Aeronautical and Technological College Binalonan Campus and North Manila had an overall mean rating of 4.17 or with a descriptive rating of moderately practice. The two campuses moderately practiced planning, controlling, directing, and organizing. The problems faced by the top to middle-level educational managers of WCC Aeronautical and Technological College in two campuses were slightly serious, while the problems met by the top to middle-level educational managers of WCC Aeronautical and Technological College in North Manila Campus were moderately serious. The researcher concluded that the extent of managerial practices and process implementation in the management of the two campuses is the same, which affects the implementation of consolidate policy and standard of WCC aviation school in general. The management of WCC Aeronautical and Technological College for both Binalonan and North Manila Campus should conduct monthly meetings to enhance practice in financial planning, marketing planning and organizing. Further study is recommended.
