Why did you select Spartan College and your program of study?

As an accredited institution Spartan was a well known name in the Aviation industry, compared to other rates of tuition Spartan was very affordable and there instructors were very knowledgeable on subjects. They also worked very well with veteran programs, and look for ways to help with tuition assistance.

The course material and instructors covered all subjects very well, there was more then enough time for help after class for students that struggled more then others. As long as you applied yourself in class and study and prepped on your off time you should do fine.
