In addition, the Aviation Maintenance Technology programs at Spartan are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Founded by William G. Skelly, Spartan is the only aviation school in the nation that was also an aircraft manufacturer. In fact, one of the first side-by-side flying trainers was invented at Spartan.

Educational Philosophy
Knowledge and Skill Overcome Superstition and Luck
The Spartan College of Aeronautics’ educational philosophy of learn-by-doing provides students in our aviation career training programs with the skills needed to succeed. To accomplish this goal, our experienced instructors are committed to providing general education, hands-on-training and classroom theory in all programs.
At Spartan, we strive to provide general education training to complete the student’s knowledge, covering a broad set of general job skill competencies; hands-on-training to provide industry-specific job skills in aviation and other related fields; and theory training to develop the student's industry-specific job skill knowledge.
The hands-on aviation career training programs in Tulsa, Oklahoma, begin at the ground level with curriculum that was developed around the assumption that a new student does not have prior knowledge of aviation before beginning college. This building block approach of starting with the fundamentals, moving onto the basics and finishing with advanced coursework can help to build a solid skill set as well as instill a high degree of confidence in the student.
