  I had Karim as my instructor, and I really appreciated how much effort he put into helping us succeed. He took the time to explain things clearly and spent extra time with us in the hangar, helping us apply what we learned in class. The study guides he created himself for the blocks were especially helpful. They made reviewing the material easier, and the extra questions and practice tests helped us feel more prepared for the FAA exams. He did a great job coordinating our lessons, hands-on training, and exam preparation so we stayed organized and on track. He also checked on our progress and helped us with areas where we were struggling. It was clear that he cared about his students. I’m grateful for everything I learned from him

  Kareem from block 3 is a great instructor at the school. He does an excellent job teaching the class and making sure students understand the material before moving on. Whenever we have questions, need help with a project, or struggle to understand a topic, he takes the time to explain it clearly and provide guidance. He also does an outstanding job preparing students for their FAA exams by providing helpful resources, study materials, and advice on what to focus on. He helps students prepare for the written, oral, and practical exams by offering guidance, answering questions, reviewing important topics, and helping us build the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed. He has a great relationship with his students and creates a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and seeking help. Most importantly, you can tell that he genuinely wants to see his students succeed. He goes above and beyond to help us improve our skills, prepare for our FAA exams, and get ready for our future careers in aviation. Overall, Kareem is an excellent instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly dedicated to his students’ success.

  I have to write this review anonymously because the situation here is completely out of hand. Im a year in, and in this year i have only had 4 teachers that actually TEACH. All these teachers are just here to get paid, YOUTUBE VIDEOS is what they show you, one teacher makes the entire class read going arround the class the book , just reading no stopping no explanations 0 comprehension. They give out projects worksheets no explanation go in the book find the answers like okay i get it but what are we paying 60k for???? You literally teach yourself, whats the point in even coming to class, might as well stay home do dauntless kilsar and study on your own. Only time anyone should be here is to do projects and it really sucks. I was under the impression when i came here that my experience was going to be great, only reason i havent dropped out is because i finish what i start. Every class there are new rules that they come up with, to just make things even harder. People keep failing exams and management does not understand its because 70% of the teachers here do not teach, they be on their phones the entire class , on sports apps , watching games , on social media and we just sit here like helpless students waiting to get dismissed. Spoken to DME’s in this school, alot of intructors skip over or half ass projects just to get them done like if these arent things we might get as practicals for our FAA exams. You miss 30 hours you fail , okay great but wonder why students dont want to attend class? Its because WE ARE DOING NOTHING. We are not learning in class , BARELY, we learning on our own. Might as well make class VIRTUAL and make us come in a day a week for projects, would save me the drive and waste of time. Literally sit here in class 70% of the time doing nothing. SHOUTOUT TO EDGAR, LOUIS, JULIO, SAMUEL. Only good teachers that actually teach , do dauntless, make you feel confident. Everyone else , i can watch youtube videos at home. They worried about the wrong thing. This school feels like a massive money trap, its all so you can get your license thats it. If they really cared about the students. They paint you this lovely picture youre going to get the best education ever, they gona sell you the world so you can sign up. At the end of the day, aviation maintenance isn’t a field where you can fake it or just ‘get by. We are training to work on machines where people’s lives are on the line, yet we’re left to teach ourselves out of textbooks and off YouTube while instructors sit on sports apps and social media. I am leaving this school everyday feeling completely unprepared for my FAA oral and practical exams—not because I didn't put in the work, but because AIM failed to deliver the education we were promised and are paying $60,000 for. If the FAA were to step in and interview students individually, they would see the reality of what’s happening here. Do not fall for the sales pitch. You’re not paying for an education; you’re paying $60k to sit in a room and teach yourself.

  Stay AWAYYY, i have so much to said about this school. When you start the process of enrolling they are sooo tentative getting back to you. The teacher was always late or not there, teaching the class with youtube videos. I have been trying to get in touch with the school since June to ask about a bill i have left several messages NO ONE has gotten back to me. Once your kid is enrolled the attention is over.. waste of money.
