I had a good experience throughout the years I’ve spent at spartan. The teachers are very helpful. They’ll go out of their way to explain and clarify. The staff are very nice. The program director Mr. Pleasant was very supportive and helpful. Overall, I learned a lot and earned my A&P. It takes commitment and a lot of hours attending the classes, labs, and studying for the exams but is well worth it. The location is very convenient and has ample parking.

A life changing experience . staff are very helpful teachers are very smart very help full , admin as well. very concerned about making sure we have any and all the things we need to get to get to our goal . they feed our goal . right Mr pleasant . all staff at spartan are family . they helped me become a better person, coming from a life of drugs,gangs and criminal life . and tattoos from head to toe , they never judge me but brought me in there family , spartan family in Inglewood thank you for a life long experience that i will never forget .

Decided not to go to this school for one reason. The harassing phone calls from your own local area code tricking you into thinking you could be receiving a local phone call from your doctor or some kind of an emergency from a family member. Im the one deciding whether to attend this school or not so let ME be the one to call back! How else would they have tricked me like this had I attended? If they cant be straightforward with me about a phone call how can I expect them to be straightforward with me when Im trusting them for my education?

I will begin by saying that these are my honest observations while attending Spartan from Nov 2019 through July 2021 (through Covid). This may be long, but you will find it insightful and honest.The facilities. Like most everyone else, I was impressed when I took the tour before I enrolled. A lot of equipment in two separate hangers looked great. But after I enrolled and took all the classes, I know better. There isnt one piece of aircraft equipment that is presently working or isnt missing any parts. Manuals are disorganized or missing pages. It is an old school built in the mid 1940s and it shows. The buildings need updating as does the equipment. I can say that the administration is working on updating the facilities, but it will take a long time to bring them up to date. Despite the facilities and equipment, it is still possible to learn the necessary knowledge you need to get your A&P license. This is largely due to a dedicated faculty staff that has gone out of their way to ensure that I get the knowledge I need.The faculty. One of the best teachers Ive ever had in any classroom setting is Mr Gober. While he is not a licensed A&P mechanic, his math lessons are entertaining and to the point. The faculty is full of knowledgeable and experienced individuals that are trying to make a difference in your life, despite what is going on around them. I thank Mr Gober, Mr Miller, Mr Rapp, Mr Post, Dr. Boyce, Mr Harrell, Mr Freed, Mr Apollonio, Mr Anderson, Mr Chojnicki, Mr Jordan and Mr Douglas for taking the time and extra effort to make sure that I understood every aspect of the topic being taught. They are a wealth of information and anyone that tells you different, has not taken the time to ask questions or speak with them individually. They all have different teaching styles, and some may not like the style, but they are effective if the student puts forth the effort. THE FACULTY FULLY DESERVE A 5 STAR RATING.Some students attend school, show up prepared, put forth the effort and complete their work in a timely manner. Others just show up and go through the motions. Yes, I paid a substantial amount of money to get the education, but I also worked hard to achieve my educational goals. When possible, I showed up early, stayed late and asked questions. Unfortunately, I cant say the same about some other students.If you have a concern or if you want something done, then you go to Linda Laim. She is the Dean of Student Affairs and has been a tremendous help to me and most other students. If you ask anyone on campus who they call when they need help, they will more than likely say Linda another 5 STAR RATING recipient. In my time at Spartan, we have gone through three campus presidents. The first left after the first month I was there, so I did not get to know him. The second always had time to listen to the students but follow up was limited. Whether it was because of Covid restrictions, a lack of accountability, or lack of support from corporate is anyones guess, but the fact remains that there was limited follow up and/or execution that I was able to discern. The current campus president I dont know much about since hes been here about 2 months. This is his second tour with the school and I am hoping that he can get this school to what we all envision it to be.Would I recommend the school? It depends. If you are a self motivated, willing to do what needs to be done regardless of the situation, then yes. But if you are anything else, this may not be the school for you as you will feel like most others who have given the school a bad review. I can tell you that I completed the curriculum and Im looking forward to testing for my A&P. I am still continuously encouraged and helped by the faculty and administration so that I can achieve that goal.The school is old and has its problems. But the school also has a lot of potential (and it is slowly getting better). The school will be what you make of it.

Attending spartan college was one of the best decisions Ive made for myself. The program consists of everything you need to qualify for your Airframe and Powerplant certification exam. This 18 month program was the quickest way to obtain my certificate without the wait at community colleges. Spartan college, Inglewood CA, prepared me for my starting career as an aircraft mechanic and I am very pleased with my overall experience.

I attended this school and I can say I had a great experience coming to the school. There are very great instructors who are knowledgeable and are willing to provide you all the information you need as a student it’s just up to the student to put in the work. Great school overall

I took my Private Pilot knowledge test at the location and it went very smoothly. Proctor is very helpful and makes sure your documentation is correct. Very clean testing center and lag free interface while taking the test. Stationary and other supplemental tools are provided. Definitely recommended if you are taking any test.

Spartan college is great school! if you want to pursue a career in aviation or having to do with any mechanics of the field. Instructors are knowledgeable and understanding to the needs of the students. There are plenty of resources that you can utilize to propel your way into success at this institute.

Enrolling at Spartan College was one of the best decisions Ive ever made. From Day 1, the promise was that if I completed the course work, passed the tests and obtained my A&P license, that a world of opportunities would be presented to me. Well, I did that, and my life has completely changed for the better in 3 short years. There are good and not so good teachers at the school, but there are a few that are truly phenomenal and if you pay attention, they will train you to become a professional and put you on the path to lifelong success. I can unequivocally say that the training I received at Spartan, and the A&P license that is earned after 18 very difficult months, has catapulted me into a position of financial stability that I wasnt sure was possible for me to obtain.I would 100% recommend anyone that is looking for a way to change their future, and that has even a shred of interest in machines, fixing things, building Legos, making stuff, and getting dirty, to take a look at what Spartan can do for you. It wont be an easy 18 months of school, but the pay off is totally worth it.

The opportunities that open up from Spartan are amazing. The connections made with all the teachers and students. When companies show up for presentations and recruitments are at most helpful to learn. The staff will take care of anything we need while in school as well as after graduation.

Before even graduating I already had an interview and job offer with the company I wanted to work for on the stipulation I receive my A&P license before my start date in August.Through this school I was well prepared and was able to complete all the FAA testing and get my license in July less than a few weeks after I graduated this school in June 2018.Even after graduation in preparation for testing I was still able to get hands on training with the instructors on subjects I was unsure of. This school works with you every step of the way to make sure you succeed, so long as you put forth the effort there is no reason not to obtain exactly what is offered

Stop by for the first time was a little late they were accommodating and I got my test and passed it first time. Very clean very organized very quiet nice testing facility. Negy Aquino was my proctor shes very nice very accommodating

Great time being here, most staff is very knowledgeable per their specialty. Wish there was more hands on plane. Administration is on point.

Wonderful School to attend, the teachers here including the staff are really helpful trust me when I say they will do everything possible to help you get your A&P, best school hands down

Best place to get certified for Aircraft Mechanics. Very knowledgeable instructors and very friendly staffs and Management. I would recommend people who want to get qualified for AMP please select Spartan college.Spartan is a wonderful starting line for a great career in aviation. Instructors and staff genuinely love what they do and it truly shows. I would recommend this school to anyone wanting to be part of the aviation maintenance technician field.

Count the cost before you begin. Many start but few actually win. Gaining the knowledge and skill isn’t dependent on how well an instructor presents information, it depends on the students willingness to pick up the weights day after day.A lot of time in study outside of class is what separates those who have an A&P and those who don’t.

The school program is fast and staff is helpful, 2 years fly by fast here and Getting a job in this field is very easy specially with the school helping you look for jobs.

Im graduated student.Since I sign up for the program I noticed the order and how well organized the College was and I liked that.Now Im taking my tests and everybody is kind, helpful and respectful.Special thanks to Negy Aquino at testing center she answered all my questions and all my calls to schedule my tests.Thank u so much.

From what I went through, the students who graduate from Spartan are way better in hands-on projects compared to a well known school out there. I highly recommend this school to those interested in becoming aircraft mechanics 👍🏼

The teachers do the most that they can to ensure students learn as much as they can with the equipment they have. The attitudes in class are that the most important thing about attending this program is that you test when you finish, which is accurate, and the educators here really do want to see you succeed.

The best decision of my life was attending What is now Spartan college. Took me a while to finish but in the end the helpful staff got me ready to the point that I got my certificate.I’m on my way to the career job I’ve been wanting through the United States Air Force. Now I can really say I’m a Certified Airmen

Only draw back I see is the lab equipment is out dated, but Instructors are very well informed and extremely well seasoned in this industry. All the Instructors care for their students knowledge. Other than that everything depends on the student interest in learning. Ill be coming back to spartan college to brush up on my learnings later in the future.

Good times here at Spartan College. My friend from work recommended it and I ended up doing it and finishing in a little over a year. You make friends at the college and able to get a good job after. Graduated in 2018.

Good school to learn and get an insight on the maintenance side of aviation that a lot of people do not take into consideration.

Good school with good teachers, helped me through all my classes. Everyone here is definitely concerned about each student passing both all their classes and the A&P. Only setback was covid making me graduate a year late due to the hands on portion of the class.

Awesome teachers and staff! Good testing center. Had fun learning here.

Good school, staff is great and helpful, if you come to this school i recommend coming in the day time there are more teachers and tutoring if needed. The night classes are good also but the classes rooms where more full (this was before covid)

I attended spartan and received my A&P. The teachers were always available for me when I needed help and are prior A&Ps that will share their experiences from different views. After I got my certificates, Miss Ethan was very helpful in creating my resume and told me about possible places I could work. I have a career as now an Aviation Technician now in Chicago, Illinois.

I went into my test a bit nervous but after meeting Negy FAA TEST CENRT PROCTOR she made it easy thank you so much for your amazing customer service.

Spartan College is a fast paced quick school to get your AP cert. Good staff. Linda and Ethel are helpful in Career Center.

Came here back in 2018 and had a job at SpaceX lined up before I even graduated. Received my associates too with my cert. Good school to come to.

Very Great School overall, if you want to get your Airframe and Powerplant license quickly i would recommed spartan college, profession and easy school to recieve your degree in aviation.

Enrolling at Spartan College was the best decision i ever made. They push you to complete the classes and obtain your a&p so that you can get a good job. I am employed by MOOG.

Was a great experience. Great teachers who helped me get through the program.

Finished school even with covid19. We went to labs everyday. Staff are friendly and able to help us graduate. I recommend to family and friends.

I was 36 years young when I began my A&P course with Spartan. This was the first time back in school since I took my GED exam. I completed my 18 month course with Spartan in 2 years because of COVID. With the help of ALL the staff, from Ms. Ethel Jones & Britney Arriola in career services assisting me with my resume, and finding job opportunities. Ms. Negy Aquino helping me with scheduling my FAA exams. Ms. Linda Laim keeping us safe on campus. Ms. Daisy Ruiz in Financial Aid Dep. making sure funding for classes is taken care of. Our Director Mr. Horace Pleasant! who inspired me and motivated me every time I heard him speak! and most importantly ALL of the instructors I had the pleasure of learning from while in their class. I was able to complete my Airframe & Powerplant Maintenance course of study.

I come here through SACM. Classes are challenging, but worth it. Study hard and sign up to take the test as soon as you are done. Linda is helpful in giving me documents and items I need for SACM. She has great customer service and cares about students.

If your heart is set on an aircraft maintenance career, the faculty at this school will do everything possible to keep you interested, motivated, and informed from day one of your journey until you obtain your license.

Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology is a great school that provides students with hands-on training in aviation maintenance technology. Students obtain the skills needed to qualify for FAA certification by using specialized classrooms and technology labs. At Spartan College, students will have the opportunity to experience a rigorous curriculum taught by friendly instructors currently working in the field. The Dean of Student Affairs, Ms. Laim, does an excellent job of developing, implementing, and delivering various services for students attending programs on campus. Furthermore, Ms. Laim answers students’ questions and promptly addresses student concerns with precision and grace, improving students’ overall experience.

I went to this school and learned a lot. They were really helpful and helped me accomplished my goals.

Fast paced school. Got my A & P cert quickly and working for Delta right now. Thanks Spartan

Spartan was really good opportunity for me as an international student. They are little hard to contact myself, but all the employees help me out when I need some help. I was considering to enroll West LA college and Spartan college then I enrolled Spartan. My decison was correct to eroll this school. School program is little fast anx harsh, but after you finish this program, you can get the certificate much more faster than the LA college.

Had a pleasant experience attending Spartan college learn a lot from great teachers would definitely recommend this school to anyone interested in joining the aviation mechanic industry

I am a graduate of this school awesome school I learned everything I needed for the aviation field and as they promised they got me a job right away amazing faculty awesome teachers negy from the testing center amazing person on top of her game and always there to help.

Very good school. Would recommend for airframe & Powerplant experience.

Great school very helpful to finding jobs once you complete all your courses. They stayed open through the Virus helped me keep my education going.

Great instructors, great staff, and great support system. They really take the time to understand the areas of development, and will focus on making those areas understandable. Highly recommendable.

I really liked attending here because I was able to apply my knowledge and skills to the place Im working at now.

Staff has first hands experience on anything you need, great communication!

The staffs are very determined to help every student to meet their goals. 18 month program is pricey but well worth it.

The center was very clean and the administrator was extremely proffessional and helpful!

Of of the best aviation schools, i’ve learned a lot here and the staff has been helping me since i graduated and provide me with useful information for my career.

Testing center close and school do not call me. Unprofessional and i do not recommend

I attended this school for almost 2 years and have successfully graduated, this school has taught me a lot and made me understand the fundamentals of aviation and all I needed to know to pass my written exams.

I enroll at Spartan College through SACM. Fast program and easy to learn. I recommend.

Was part of the school goverment and made new uniforms while attended great learning experince but better friendships.

The school and the staff give you the basic knowledge and skills to not only get your A&P but also apply it to the industry.

Spartan is a wonderful starting line for a great career in aviation. Instructors and staff genuinely love what they do and it truly shows. I would recommend this school to anyone wanting to be part of the aviation maintenance technician field.

Great school. Provides every opportunity to succeed both academically and professionally.

I schedule test there and they close when i get there.No call me or nothing. Poor customer service at Spartan College.

This school is awesome very knowledgeable teacher great environment. This is a place for people who have passion for aviation

Recently opened for testing! They are very professional and take all the COVID precautions!

Ms. Laim is very professional when it comes to teaching. Super dedicated and understanding.

Great school for those that want to learn how to make an aircraft airworthy.

I just want to say thanks to Linda for helping me and she is the Dean of Student Affairs

Would totally do this course again..my teacher Linda Laim is amazing

Great school to start your aviation career

Everybody is very nice and helpful.

Great school and instructors!

If you put in the time, this place can change your life.

Campus is great and has all the resources and support to succeed in aviation

I love this school.

Needs so much improvement. Also need to fire some staff. Mr. Montague, is hands down the worst instructor Ive ever had in my entire academic career. Never stays on topic and has the highest fail rate in the school. How he is still employed is beyond me. Im assuming the reason the school doesnt have rate my professor is to keep people from knowing how horrible he is.UPDATE: November 19, 2019 Nobody received an “End of Course Survey in Mr.Montagues class this last block.

You can get an A&P license without paying all that money for an education that’s not even close to worth it, After you Graduate good luck finding a job that does not require you have experience in the field already, and also if you need any records you better physically go there to pick them up because once you’re out they don’t answer your phone or even let you leave a voice mail. The staff there is LAZY!!! Please save your money and find experience first

Ive been in the program for about 7 months now and they already have me in the final block. Classes are taken out of order and It’s very unorganized here. I definitely regret enrolling to this school.By far the worst decision I’ve ever made was to come to this school! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

I only know the day shift which is the one Im attending. The instructors are excellent. Really interested in you learning the material despite the resistance of some of the students. So far everyone from faculty to administrators have been very good in moving me along and helping me when I need something.

I feel like I really want to leave this review not only as a former student/graduate, not only as a former employee of SkyWest Airlines, not only as a former instructor for Spartan but as current Dean of Academic Affairs for Spartan. I was an automotive mechanic and knew that I wanted to do something more and came to this school. I heard the same complaints that I have read, but noticed something about the people who were the loudest. I noticed I dont see many of those people in the industry today. The former students I see in the industry, I have seen at SkyWest, at Qantas Airlines, at Space X and Delta Airlines. I also see them in General Aviation repair stations and in many of the manufacturing facilities, (Northrop Grumman, Robinson, Panasonic etc.) The schools goal is to help you get the Airframe/Powerplant Certification. The equipment that we have is equipment that the exams, given by the FAA, specifically ask about. We will touch on the electric braking systems on current 787s but that wont be on the exams and we have to walk a fine line in between what we want to tell you about the current industry and the data saturation point when taking your exams. We are very proud of our instructors. If you take the total number of time in the industry of all of our instructors myself included, is nearly 250 years of experience. We know what it takes to get into the industry and are very proud of the students that come back and talk at our alumni panels. Were very proud of the reputation of the number of people that take the written exams and pass which would surpass in three months what the local schools will put out in 2 years. (Google NORMS 8080-08). The aircraft industry needs more than a few good mechanics. You cant get something for nothing. We train mechanics that want to be mechanics. We are Spartan.

Currently enrolled. Great school. Always has FAA inspectors coming in to talk to us. Airline employees that graduated crimson come sit in our classes and add real life scenarios to the instructors lessons. Unlike occ, its year around, so you graduate much sooner. If youre looking to fix airplanes, this is the spot

A joy ride of an education that led to failing certification exams and denial at aircraft mechanic apprenticeship applications.After 40k$, one would still need to grind harder than at school just to barely pass, and one would still need to use experience and knowledge before school to pass or fail apprenticeship tests.

Started here 16 months ago, just a FYI tuition is already 40k plus. If your planning on attending the night classes, Forget it. Only two teachers here at night that know what they are doing. If youve ever heard of buyers remorse, this will basically give you the same feeling. Ive already spoken to the president of the school and addressed my issues but not really much was done. ** this place just sucks** if you qualify for financial aid, maybe this is alright for you.. if you dont, get ready to get a large amount of student loan.

My experience has been great. Struggled with the electrical class but overall loved studying for my A and P here.

Hello, yes um my cousin attends and he has a blast thank you very much also sir it would be are aviation technicians not is youre welcome. Best wishes, xoxo - Gossip girl

Im reviewing the testing center. I have finished all my classes and went to take a test and Alisha is so dry and questions seem to bother her. I also called and received attitude from her. Im in debt around $40,000 and the service I have received from her is disappointing. It seems like she feels entitled to that position but she needs to be aware that without the students she has no job there. Dr Johnson has changed alot for the better but I feel like a low priority since I finished with the classes. Someone please let her know that she can look for work if she is unhappy there. Alisha called herself momma during orientation but she comes off as a pissed off employee.

I dont even know where to start with this place. They are more of a used car sales lot then a college all they do is get you all hyped about it then when you start school here they dont care what you have to say. I have a instructor right now that cant understand English and isnt willing to answer any question we might have for him. He is very disrespectful towards students. I wouldnt recommend this school to any friends or family ever. There are way to many horrible instructors and almost zero equipment that is in working order.... to me there should be more available to us as students specially for the bill of $40,000 but who am I right?

Whoever is in charge of picking up that 310 line only picks up and hangs up

Better than Inland Empire campus

The VA pulled the schools accreditation due to the level of incompetence, unsafe, and deplorable conditions. if you want to do this, watch youtube for free. thats what youll be doing in class anyway.

To be honest i cant wait to be finished withthis school. Everything they tell you in the tpur or on the website is completely bs. I to wounldt reccommend this school yo anyone. There are a few great yeachers but the administration isnt here for rhe students. They just wont your money thats it.

The worst thing you could do with your life. not only is most aviation jobs night shift and will turn you into a zombie with no life but the pay is not that great. also you can go to a community college for free instead of paying 30grand

Great instructors. Most people pay around 25k with financial aid. However just beware everything you see in these pictures is bullshit. You will not get to work on anything you think. all parts are old 1960 carburators, magnetos and engines. the planes are half ass cessna 150s. when it comes to hands on be ready to use your imagination because everything on the inglewood campus either doesnt work or is missing parts or is out dated.If youre serious, i mean SERIOUS about your A&P this school is no problem but if youre counting on this school as a career launch pad and teaching you the latest and greatest, save your money and try out the industry first to be sure this is what you want.Theres plenty of companies out there willing to hire non A&Ps to get your feet wet.

Got my A&P license and I have clean record but cant find a job... I was told there are sooo many jobs available in the beginning...

The best college

Great place
