Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology Reviews
May 4, 2018
This school practices unethical techniques to get students to enroll. They prey on students' hopes for a better future with overinflated promises that can not be met. They fail to disclose important information such as how a criminal record or a health issue both physical or psychiatric can prevent you from future employment and could even prevent you from getting certified and/or getting your certification revoked.
Do not go here! They are a fraudulent institutuion that will enroll anyone even if they are obviously underqualified in order to secure more federal money. They will screw you over financially. This institutuion is highly unprofessional and does not care about the students or their staff. The staff is always complaining about the unethical work enviorment. I even had a teacher ask me if my job was hiring any A&P's!
Don't fall for their lies. If you are looking to go into aviation, go to a community college that has an aviation program. This place is extremely unprofessional and a total scam.
When I spoke with the recruiter, he told me that after I finish the Nondestructive Testing program, I would receive a diploma. This was an outright lie. He also failed to tell me that you do not actually even need to attend school to get into this field. It increases the chances of getting hired but it is not necessary. The campus tour I was given excluded a lot of things: the main campus looks nice but check out it's parking lot in the back, it is filled with potholes and in terrible shape. The other campus with the hangars, same situation. The tour guide also excluded the fact that only one campus has a cafeteria and the food is gross. I heard from many students who resided in the student housing that conditions there are deplorable. I could go on about the white-wash that they give you in their supposed tour... I graduated from Spartan while working full-time and raising a special needs kid. Though I lost a lot of sleep and put my body through the grinder, I stuck with it and made some good friends along the way. It meant a lot to me to accomplish what I did but attending this scam of a so-called learning institution is the biggest regret of my life. The career services group is a joke. Almost all the jobs they have posted on the website have been filled months ago. I pointed this out and was told I am wrong, not even bothering to check out whether my information was valid or not. The career fair is helpful if you are able to relocate across the country. If not, it's a waste of time. There are so many other complaints against this school but it is almost an endless list. They are still on the government's watch list for heightened cash monitoring, if that tells you anything. This school is very expensive but yet, they have a roach problem, very out dated equipment, poorly paid teachers, etc. I hope this place gets enough complaints and gets shut down.
This 'college' is a complete scam. I attended this school for aircraft maintenance and obtain an associate in applied science. First off this school is one big lie. They advertise that they are the "best aviation school". As a matter of fact, I have been passed over for jobs because I went to this school. I have twice been told by interviewers, "I don't hire Spartan Graduates". The AA facility directly across the street from the school's shop wouldn't hire Spartan Graduates. You don't even need an A&P to work in aviation maintenance. They are not accredited as they claim and their credits do not transfer despite being told by my recruiter and by R.W.. After I had trouble finding employment I decided to pursue a 4yr degree, and was told by the college I went to that they nor any other college would accept Spartan credits. Same went for a community college I later attended. So basically I have an AAS that's just as useful as toilet paper. This is a complete contradictory from what I and a group of about 40 people were told in orientation. After completing the A&P program, I opted to get my AAS. After I completed the courses I was told I needed to get my AAS I was called into a counselor's office. I was told that I couldn't graduate unless I took a remedial math even though I already had credits for Algebra from a 4yr university and was told during my application process. Essentially they was going to make me take any and every class possible to financially bleed me dry after I was told I was ready to graduate. I had to pay $60 to take the opt-out test which I passed. The equipment, facility, and some staff are a joke. When I went there, we were using equipment from the 1930's! Yes, they had calibration equipment with the last calibration dates dating back to the 30's; does that sound like that's a $36k education? I had instructors refuse to take time out after class to further explain the material. The 'tutor' center was ran by students. Their job placement assistance was a waste of time. They only wanted to refer you to places they were buddy-buddy with that paid absolute crap and when I asked RW to contact a potential employer for me to give a reference, he only wanted to set up "deals" for him to send employees to Spartan for training (funny part is that the guy he was speaking with not only didn't hire Spartan graduates, he claimed he was a Spartan graduate himself). They also hold your student loan funds and tell YOU when you can access them. Dealing with the financial aid department was a nightmare. I originally wanted to go there to be a pilot, but I was told that I had to go trough theA&P program first which turned out to be a lie. Attending this school was a waste of time and has put me into financial ruin. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this school. FAFSA, Sallie Mae, and any other student loan organization should be banned from sending money to this school or be held as an accessory to fraud. Any and all loans given to students who went to this school should be forgiven and the funds should be reclaimed from Spartan due to Spartan's fraudulent practices. This school is fully aware of what it is doing. It prey's on people who have a desire and interest in aviation. They make you apply by writing an essay why Spartan should choose YOU to give the impression they are selecting only the top candidates for a selective school. The truth is they accept anyone who has the money. Save yourself the time, money, and embarrassment and avoid this place.
