Best Aviation Training Institute Independence Near Me

Brian Kimble: I parked out in front for an hour waiting for a chiefs game. I still don't know how to fly a plane.

Christy Wilson (Chris): My nephew attends school here. He seems to enjoy everything so far. No complaints heard so far, we'll see when it's graduation time.

Tyler Lovetinsky: Multiple instructors have severe PTSD and no official teaching license. Most of the school is just teaching yourself out of the textbook in order to pass classes. Nobody at the school gives a care at all if you graduate once you enroll. The instructors sign off on projects that have not even been completed just so they can have time to play Magic the Gathering during class as soon as possible every day. Hardly any hands on experience. The financial advisors use the term "free money" a lot when referring to loans (especially when they are dealing with people out of poverty). The concept of money gets left outside the front door when people enter it seems like. Damon Cook, the Director of Education, is willing to lie about and then fight his students. The advisors will lie about every detail just to get you enrolled.

Misty Marble (Mist): My son started going to

Jean Christophe: I don't recommend.

Julia Kruckow: Went for a job fair!

Caleb Breneman: If I could leave zero stars I would. This program is horrible. It is nearly $50,000 dollars to attend and not worth even a fraction of that. They do not tell you upfront about all of the costs until it is to late. They do not mention that they are priced $15,000 dollars above what federal student loans will cover until its to late. Then they charge you while you are attending to pay on the difference. Then the day you graduate they hit you up for $250 a month that you have to pay on top of your federal loan payment. They also charge you for classes that you do not attend. The quality of the program itself is terrible. With the exception of a couple of instructors most of them are fresh out of school and have no idea about what they are talking about. Half of my instructors spent more time watching movies in class than teaching. I had to teach myself online for most of the blocks in order to pass the tests. They are predatory in their recruiting and even more predatory in their collections. Even with student loans differed because of the pandemic they still hound you for money and threaten to send you to collections. I know they are the only program in the area but I would avoid it. It's not worth even a fraction of the cost. I have spoken too many other graduates and they all seem to have the same opinion. Just to show how bad it is, my class started with 17 students and finished with 2. Very few people graduate or get their A&P.

Kenny Chauhan: You’re paying for the school to give you required knowledge to pass the AMT FAA tests. Lots of people come here with so many expectations other than that. It’s literally the fastest way to into the aviation industry(mechanics side) your A&P license can be converted into 80-100 college credits if you desire to pursue a Bachelors degree in the Aviation field. Do not take your first FAA exam unless you are ready to take them all close to each other time wise. Once you take your 1st test your 2year count down begins to pass all of them. Teachers are knowledgeable about the subject area. Don’t treat this like a regular college. Get in, pass your classes, pass your tests and get out. There’s hella money to be made!

Rami KATHEMI: Critical:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueThe school is not accredited in Israel or Emirates. You almost have to retake the entire training. It seems to have bad reputation here. Poor training. I am talking about Kansas city school. I do not know about the other school places. The staff are very cocky too. I do not recommend it.

Joanna Hall: Critical:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueOld dated material and instructors have no idea about anything. waste of time and MONEY!!!! Overly priced.

seesdifferently: Critical:Professionalism,QualityThey tell you one thing, and you realize another later on. stay away!!

lilia comparan: Positive:Professionalism

Bryant Ellis: I am about to go to school to become an aviation maintenance technician and the staff here are amazing

Janeicka Hays: Love ❤️ it!!

Roy Scott: Critical:Communication,Quality,ValueDo your research before attending.

Aaron Rhoades: Robert was wonderful to work with!!! The family, comradeship and facility are state of the art!!!!!!!

michael thacker: I am an Instructor here and have been for 17 years. I love teaching people about Aviation & how airplanes work!

Ryan Keopke: Drama filled it's like attending a Jerry Springer episode

Aaron Neece: Recieved a bill 10 years later. I do not recommend this school to anyone who is looking to better themselves.

Robert Illidge: My overall experience at this school is that they are really quick to go after veterans and their benefits. The education program coordinator is rude. Also they lack jet aircraft which in this day and age is not good. The instruction i got at this school was good. Overall though as a veteran they don't know how to deal with the va on certain things and you end up making endless phone calls to the va to get things straightened out. I would take your money and go else where.
