Graduated from the AMT Hybrid program in November of 2020. The Hybrid program was the perfect fit for me as I was able to continue working while completing the online portion and then go to Tulsa for the On Ground syllabus. Spartan is designed to give you a solid foundation of the fundamentals, prepare you to pass the FAA Oral and Practical exams, and set you up to continue to learn once you are hired. Like any school or program, you get out what you put in. If you are disciplined, put the effort in, and make a concerted effort at studying and learning, then you will do fine and have a good experience. If you expect to show up, not apply yourself, and be spoon-fed what you need, then you are setting yourself up for failure I found the majority of the Instructors at Spartan to be very helpful and genuinely caring about helping students to learn. There were a few less than stellar ones when we first arrived, but there was a marked infusion of talented and engaged instructors by the time we graduated. They were very accommodating with my situation when COVID hit and school was shut down. I was able to return to work and come back and complete the final six weeks at a point that worked with my schedule. Some of the equipment was dated, but overall it was adequate to get the training across. There was a concerted effort to improve the quality of equipment and training devices during our time there. If you have solid study habits and a desire to learn the basics and set yourself up for success, then I would recommend Spartan. If you are expecting to show up, not study, not pay attention, and expect to be handed a degree, pass the FAA exams, and land a good job, don’t blame the school or program for not preparing you.

I am an alumni from 2009 and don't recommend Spartan. I was told by recruiters it was required to do maintenance before flight. Ended up maxing aid and not completing the flight program. Job placement sent me to mom and pop shop that ended up with layoffs. Tried to transfer credits later to Oklahoma State, and was told Spartan was not a nationally accredited college. Later on I ended up filing a claim with US dept of Education about my aid, but nothing was resolved due to not enough documentation. I felt like I wasted my time at the college, and I did enjoy my instructors and colleagues. Just very disappointed with that chapter in my life!!!

I picked up my A&P license here at this FOR PROFIT school for $40k about 5yr ago. My experience this far, as an A&P mechanic, for the LARGEST REGIONAL Airline. I do love my job and enjoy my work.1st time I've ever been able to say that. I am over the hill . You will work nights and weekends for the rest of your life, depending on base and location. If you are somewhere to work days, your days will be boring and putting a screw in here and there and lots of paperwork if you don't have the part needed, during the day. Boring days, without actually working on aircraft. Or nights and weekends for the rest of your life, with no extra pay for more responsibilities, taxiing aircraft, night shift premiums. I love my job,other than nights, weekends, and pay. Spartan made it sound like it is a great career, pay, benefits, retirement, etc. The job Is better than hauling trash. Just pat and benefits are no where near where they should be. I attended the on campus portion with kids. Some younger than my own. The kids mostly slept and copied the school work. There was 25 or so in my class, by the time we had our license I believe 2-4 people ended up with license. Parents, if you have $40k laying around or would like a $40k loan payment, by all means give it to Spartan. Personally, I would not send my kids here, if I only knew then what I know now. I'd have never wasted $40k. There is $ to be made if you'd like to live in a large city. I'm talking LA large, or San Fran Large, or Dallas Large. Large cities. With the possibility of a layoff, if you have seniority built up. You might get to bump to another base, somewhere else. It's not as good as everyone thinks. Spartan was a waste, this is a young, single man's profession. With The possibility of making good $, along with possibilities of being laid off and having to bump to another city. Live and Learn!! Attend somewhere else.

This school has finally pushed me to the point of writing a review. I attended and graduated the Broomfield, CO location in 2018 with a 4.0 GPA and had a wonderful experience (they have 5 stars for a reason). In 2020 I decided to further my education, I thought it would be awesome to return to Spartan since I had such a good experience the first time. Only this time I had to "attend" the Tulsa location and take the bachelors program online since I live in Colorado and they only offer that program at the Tulsa location. I have had nothing but headaches and bad experiences from this location. Upon starting I never received any welcome or guidance on how anything worked, they literally through me to the wolves. They have now messed up or forgotten my VA enrollment 3 different times the worst part is they don't know how to fix it, I have to end up fixing it every time. It seems that EVERYONE works from home and no one answers their phones, better yet they don't return your calls either. Being 100% online that is absolutely the worst. I feel like I have no support to help me when I have questions about the school. I will give a little credit because the course material is not bad at all but all the instructors are on different pages. The school has specific requirements that are set for assignments like discussions and none of the teachers follow it, they all go off and do their own things making things very confusing. I am currently set to graduate in 5 weeks and on track to graduate with a 3.98 GPA. I have yet to hear anything from the school about a graduation ceremony, and yet again I can't get ahold of anyone! This school needs a lot of help and a dedicated staff. It truly seems like they look at the students as money and don't actually care about them (specially online students). If anyone from the school actually reads this and wants to help get some answers I would greatly appreciate it. - Zach Spurlock

Not veteran friendly. On more than a few occasions, I went without rent money because the school didn't submit my attendance to the VA correctly and my Basic Housing Allowance was not paid out to me properly. They also do not have a dedicated representative for veterans and the staff generally has no clue how to handle veteran benefits. The instructors I had on nights were good and I generally have no complaints with the teaching staff. The administration staff was horrid. They never called me back despite how many messages I left. None of them could answer basic questions about the GI Bill that pertained specifically to the school. I constantly found myself doing my own research for questions that they should have been able to answer and If you went over an administration employee's head to find answers that they failed to provide, that particular employee would hold a grudge and retaliate or intentionally leave you by the wayside (this happened multiple times and once by a manager level employee). I will say that they seemed eager to help me until I actually enrolled and started class, but once they had their money, I was on my own. The level of professionalism from Spartans staff (aside from the instructors) is laughable and easily surpassed by TCC and other state ran schools.
