I was a student here for over 2 years in both aviation maintenance and avionics. It provided the exact training that I signed up for and prepared me for a career in aviation maintenance. I was hired into a great position right out of school after obtaining my license and made more than most college graduates out of college after two years of training. The equipment and tools were sufficient and most of the instructors were very knowledgeable. Sure there a few that could improve as well. Some of these reviews on equipment are funny. What do they expect- have a brand new Boeing 777 that the students get to tear down and repair every 5 weeks? That's not reality in a school environment. AIM trained and prepared me for aviation maintenance and it doesn't have to be on brand new aircraft or engine every 5 weeks. Aviation is aviation whether it is brand new or aged equipment. Quit complaining and get the most out of this training and get your license and start what has been a great career for me thus far. It's an investment into your future and sometimes that can be costly initially. Good luck and I recommend this school and training.

The only decent people in the school are the instructors. There are some people in the office side of the campus that need to get checked or fired; from my experience they are either rude, condescending or flat out patronizing. If you're paying about 2,500 a month for this school out of pocket or with loans, you'd expect better. The almost 45k you're paying for this measly license might not get you those kind of returns when you get out into the field, but its the only game in town. I'd only recommend this to people who qualify for the GI bill.

As it relates to employment, do not apply here even if you are qualified (with multiple degrees). Mr. Lewis and his colleague interviewed me in December and stated that if I didn’t get a callback, they have decided to move forward with another candidate. I understood this and was glad that I received a timeframe. In January, I received a call asking if I was still interested in the position and that they saw my resume on indeed. I advised them that I was still interested but was slightly confused whether this was a second interview, as I just completed an interview the previous month. Mr. Lee stated that he would give me a call for a second interview, which I knew was a lie because he didn’t even remember that he interviewed me a month before. Getting someone’s hopes up during such turbulent times as these is completely unnecessary. If this is how unorganized things are in the beginning stages it can’t be any better as a full time employee.

Anyone who wants to attend this school, just know that you can obtain almost all the books online. I highly advise people to ask why their aircraft look like they were literally pulled from the junk yard. How is any student supposed to take the aviation field seriously if the examples are the lowest of the low. Then there are the tools. Files with no handles, rachets that don't catch, and test stands that are held together with duct tape. Some instructors are literal gold with the knowledge they have, and are very good an conveying their knowledge to the student; however, they are few and far between. I have encountered 3 or 4 instructors like this. Most of the others are either bad communicators, or are placed in a classroom to instruct students on subject matters that they themselves have limited experience in. I'm not saying that they can't teach it, but I think it's just common sense that someone who worked on sheet metal for years in the field would not be the best suited to teach (for example) a class on aircraft fabric coverings. The take away from all of this is keep your eyes open and ask questions. This school tries to pull you in quickly, and at the same time try to convince you that this is the best option and that you're gonna have a great experience. Do not be fooled! Don't make my same mistake. The truth is, if you are passionate about aviation join the military. They have much stricter standards, and you will receive better instruction then you would ever here.
