Aviation Institute-Maintenance

I have 0 experience with this place. If you are serious about aircraft maintenance join the Air Force. At least you you will learn how to do it right. I have driven by the kansas city location. All I need to see! Just looking at it was enough for me. FYI Jets are specialized

Worst introduction to a program EVER!!! #1 This program costs $40,000 and if you sign up for classes the recruiter gets paid. He will say anything to get you to sign up. The guy trying to sell me on this program's name was Darren. Obviously ex-military and i had to listen to him speak and repeat himself for 3 hours. He asked, "how much education i had?" I told him, "I graduated from high school and am about to graduate with an associates degree from a community college." He completely dismissed my education and said that was just like 2 more years of high school and that none of those credits matter. So,your saying the $6,000 I spent on college means nothing. I also asked if any credits would transfer and he would not give me a clear answer. He reminded me of a politician, every time i asked a question, he would change the subject or try to point out a positive about the program. Neither of which had anything to do with the question i just asked. Not that I was able to ask many questions or get a word in edge wise. He controlled every aspect of the tour and wouldnt tell me how much it cost until the very end. He told me over 10 times that "You have been sitting on the sideline your whole life and watching your life go by." No, No i haven't!! I've been going to college, since high school while working a 40hr a week job. Only having two days off a week and having to go to school all day. All just so i could pay off my schooling without having any loans. I just decided to try something new. The whole time he looked down upon me. Are you trying to sell me on a program or RUIN this program. This guy should not be giving tours, he should not be representing this program. I was excited when i came about possibly learning a new skill. I now never want to go to any Aviation program ever. I'm really upset i took the day off work for this. My day turned sour after this tour.

Great school. The instructors actually care and understand that you are there by your own choice. They will help you succeed if you show them you want to work in aviation. Tough classes, but very rewarding and they break it down easy enough for someone who has no mechanical ability to begin with. If you have mechanical experience, they will help you expand on your skills and knowledge. 10/10 would recommend.

I work with a graduate from your school. He has ZERO knowledge of anything relevant to aircraft maintenance !!! He cannot identify aluminum vs. steel (WOW), can't identify rivets or the proper tooling to use, I could go on for days on what he does NOT know coming out of your school !! I've told him fifty times he should get his money back. I wouldn't let him work unsupervised on anything, especially an aircraft or a component of an aircraft. From what I see, your school gets an "F". I am an A&P/IA, and I know what I'm talking about.
