Very little good said about the place. Do a search and see what you can find.

If you wanna pay $150,000 and fly old 152's its not bad I guess.

I see their planes and students fairly regular. It is expensive.

I'm an Okie and I've always heard that. If you want to fly in Tulsa, I've heard good things about Riverside.

I went there... It was a very expensive mistake... Out of my ten friends there only one stayed all the way through... That should tell you something. Trust me.. Go somewhere else...

I graduated from Spartan last year, I spent four long years there. The school charges alot of money for their aircraft, and there isn't a whole lot out in Tulsa to do, but if flying for a living is your dream then I would consider Spartan because of the procedures in their flying will help to prepare you for an airline career. I just made it through airline training at Skyway as a new first officer and Spartan's training did have a hand in this.

I finished in 2005 at spartan. It is a decent program if you are going to stay all the way though. It took me about 3 years to finish and about 60K. Great flight program, but general edcuation was pretty bad. I am now working for Republic. The head of HR told me during the interview that they hire alot of spartan grads, take it for what its worth. I would strongly reccomend going to visit, and don't let their salesmen make your decision for you. Spartan is not for eveyone.
