  If I could give this school negative stars I would. Quite possibly the worst place you can go to pursue your a&p. Highway robbery, the administration doesn’t do anything to help you regarding signing up for your classes. It takes forever to get anything done, and by that time the classes are likely already full or there was an issue that they decided to just not make clear to you. They have extra classes you have to take that aren’t even FAA required that just makes it that much harder to finish and start taking your written’s and O&P’s. If you live nearby and think it’s okay just for the convenience trust me taking a 1h+ drive to any other a&p school is that much worth it. Some of the instructors don’t even show up most of the semester but still have the audacity to fail you. What an absolute disgrace. Maybe if you came here years ago it would have been OK, but most definitely that’s not the case anymore. Incompetent school avoid at all costs.

  review here from an actual student. I attend this school, and tbh it’s very good you get lots of help and opportunities within the school including guidance with courses one on one. Free parking and lots of benefits including a free gym membership at bqe. many in campus clubs I feel like the ones who write bad reviews are the ones who miss class and arrive late, (Two absences and you are dropped from a class) I recommend this school. The best part about it is that the professors are actual employees in the industry Many work at LGA and JFK.

  If I could give 0, or even negative stars, I would. I officially withdrew from this institution on September 2nd, 2025. Today is November 20th, 2025, and despite paying over $7,000 in tuition, the school has failed to process and issue my refund, which is now three months overdue. Most competent educational institutions process refunds within two weeks. The administrative incompetence and lack of financial transparency at this school are staggering. I strongly urge all prospective students to reconsider enrolling. I am surprised of how competent my high school was compared to an accredited college. When I withdrew, I was simply told to "wait for the refund to be processed." After waiting significantly longer than is standard, I contacted them and was then informed that I needed to complete several other administrative steps. These steps should have been communicated to me immediately upon withdrawal to expedite the process. Staff members are unresponsive. Multiple emails regarding my outstanding $5,000+ refund were either completely ignored or met with unhelpful, non-committal replies that did not address my core issue. The administrative department repeatedly provides the same, false assurance of "Wait two weeks." This stalling tactic has been used every time I have called over the past three months. I initially understood that the 90% refund policy would apply to the $7,000 I paid, yielding approximately $6,000. I was later informed that the 90% applies to the total cost of the entire semester, resulting in a much lower refund of approximately $5,000. This means I paid nearly $2,000 to attend classes for only TWO DAYS, an unjustifiable expense given the quality of the administration and services provided. This ongoing failure to issue my legal and rightful refund has had a direct and punitive impact. I was wished "good luck" at my new college, yet the school is actively preventing me from using my own money to pay my tuition there. Do not trust this school with your money. If you have any administrative or financial issues, you will be met with silence, stalling, and utter incompetence. They prioritize holding onto student funds over providing basic, professional service. Absolutely unacceptable.

  The staff is very helpful. I attended a course there and came across the staff from human resources and I have to say they were so friendly and helpful. A+++
