The people who ask easily have cash on hand to cover an 18 month program full-time and also have enough saved to probably cover most of their living expenses, if not all. Remember, they are a lot of 40 something business professionals that are simply burned out and going from $80K, $100K, or $120K a year to a starting wage is not an issue since their wife is fine with it or they are lucky enough to be pretty much debt free with money in the bank.
They do not want to go to a tech school that offers an Associate degree since they already have a BA in Business or Engineering, etc. What schools do you recommend I refer these people to where they can do all the training and then pass the required tests for the A&P in 18 months?
I'd love to be more useful to these people when they ask, so thanks for the list of the best schools out there for this situation. |
Since you are located in San Antonio, TX, you should be familiar with my alma mater, Hallmark Institute of Aeronautics there at KSAT. When I was there you could choose from the 12 month certificate program or the 14 month associates program. (the only difference being a couple of college level courses.) The 12 month certificate program was the bare bones requirement to test for the airframe and powerplant certificates.
Hope this info helps...
