  It’s disappointing to see so many negative reviews about AIMS. As a former graduate of Teterboro School of Aeronautics, I had hoped my nephew would consider AIMS as a strong starting point for his aviation career. After my time in the Air Force and years around aviation training, it’s clear that what’s being described here sounds like talk without real follow-through. It’s easier to maintain the status quo than to hold staff to the same standards expected of students, but that approach catches up quickly. Students are not an afterthought. They are the entire purpose of the program. If they’re treated like revenue instead of future professionals, that’s a short road to losing credibility. Students deserve exactly what they paid for. They don’t owe anything beyond their effort. That’s something worth remembering. Unfortunate :(

  I am concerned about the behavior of certain individuals, particularly Ahmed, who seems to be operating with an unprofessional attitude and appears to be on a power trip. This kind of conduct creates an uncomfortable environment. The treatment I have received from some instructors, who instead of providing constructive guidance, seem to target or provoke students. I’m honestly dissatisfied with the quality of education and overall experience of this school. I feel that the tuition fees I have paid do not reflect the value of the education being provided. The lessons are often insufficient, covering only the bare minimum or, in some cases, not providing meaningful content at all. This lack of substance is frustrating and does not meet the expectations that were set upon enrolling. As paying students, we deserve a more respectful and engaging learning environment where we can expect quality teaching and support that aligns with the tuition fees we are paying. I respectfully request that the institution address these issues and work to ensure that we are receiving the education we are entitled to.

  Theres an old saying, "A bad mechanic blames his tools." My personal experience with this school is amazing! Those that left bad reviews dont understand what these instructor go through day in and day out striving to teach kids who cant appreciate their hard work. There is no sugar coating the school, it is private and theyre lack of any government or state funding shows that. What they lack in they more than make up for with their instructors. If you take the time to ask questions they will do their best to help and ive been there many times. And for the one guy complaining about the "dean" I hope your not talking about Ed bennett because that man is the most straight forward and knowledgeable guy. When he always taught my class we rarely had questions because of how he laid out his teaching it was so easy to understand. All in all, we need to hear more positive reviews, these people deserve it.
