This is not the Spartan of WWII, it is a shell that uses its insignia and history to dupe students into attending. Not a good reputation in the aviation industry. Have a Question?

Pick another flight school. You will waste your money on a poor education. Flight instruction can be good, depending on your instructor. Credits will not transfer either. AAS is a worthless degree, BS is much better in this field. Don't let them tell you that Spartan has a great reputation, it DOES NOT. Most people scoff or chuckle when they hear you spent time at spartan. It is a joke in the industry for flight training. Do yourself a favor and do not go.

I'm currently a first officer at a respectful regional airline. Here's the thing, everyone on this blog has posted all the negatives about Spartan and I too felt some of those feelings while attending. But like anything else you get out of it what you put in. I can tell you that while I was a student at Spartan they had a ridiculous commercial pilot course. They had a lesson planned for every hour needed to obtain your license. The problem with that was you had 23 lessons of nothing but slow flight, stalls and steep turns. And lets say on lesson 5 or 6 you have a bad performance, instead of correcting the problem on the next lesson (since after all it is the exact same lesson) they incomplete it and you pay for extra training. Also every lesson was quoted at exactly 1 hour which we all know isn't going to happen. So in the end you wind up taking your commercial checkride with 300+ hours instead of 250. I was quoted 45 grand for the total cost of my training. I actually spent well over 70 grand and back then that didn't even include a multi-engine rating. I wasn't alone, in fact everyone I knew had spent about the same and at the time Spartan didn't seem to care. I have heard they changed the commercial program quite a bit since I graduated and it now includes a multi-engine rating. As bad as all this may sound just about every pilot at the airline I fly for has a similar story about the flight schools they attended. One woman in my new hire class spent 140 grand at Danny Webster college for basically the same education I received for 75. Her student loan payment is 1200 a month which is more than my mortgage. The majority of the pilots in new hire class spent 100 grand plus and everyone had the same complaints. Lets face it, we are attending a tech school not a university. Tech school's do not have the government funding that universities have so naturally there not going to have all the bells and whistles. I'm not suggesting that you lower your standards just do a little more research on the school before you write them a check. Take a tour of the campus, talk to some of the students. Looking back I probably would have attended a four year state school. But Spartan did deliver, I am an Airline pilot and that is what I attended Spartan for. So overall I rate Spartan a B-. A lot of the comments on this page come from students who just like to complain. Spartan is a descent school if you show up prepared and ready to work.

The only reason that I graduated from Spartan was because after spending $$$$$$$$$ I could not go anywhere else because their credits do not transfer at all!! I was a flight school grad. The management of spartan consist of people that have no history of aviation, so they treat everything as a money making operation. Half of the students are gang banger assholes that will try to start a fight with you or break into your car. I was a flight instructor after graduation for spartan and the quality of students that they allow into that place is a joke. Have of the people their just went there because they though they were going to make a million dollers a year because that is what the recuiter told them. I wish I never would have stepped foot onto that piece of shit of a school! trust me when I tell you to not attend Spartan! Have a Question?
