Aviation Maintenance

Jerry Brown
Aviation Maintenance

I started Spartan in the fall of 1983 after a season of ag flying. Years later when my ag flying dried up my A&P training helped me get a job flying Convairs for 10 years all over Central America and Southeast Asia. The last three years I am back to ag work because my airline moved its certificate to Mexico.

Michael Purvis
Aviation Maintenance

I feel that if I did not have my A&P (AMT) education from Spartan, I would not have received the job offer from NORDAM. I have been able to travel the country working for NORDAM and the opportunities with this company are endless. Thank you, Spartan.

Avionics

Marvin Duffy
Avionics

I started Spartan the fall of 1985 and graduated the spring of 1987 with an Associate's degree in avionics. About a month after graduating, I was hired as an AV technician with the University of Delaware and over the years moved up or laterally to various positions. I feel that I have been a superior technician because I was trained in an industry that has little room for error.

Flight

William R. Day
Professional Pilot

I am proud and grateful for my affiliation with Spartan. The good staff at Spartan enabled me to grasp opportunity when the moment was ripe. For the duration of my Spartan flight training I had just one flight instructor, who had the wisdom to respect and make use of my prior aviation experience. Thanks to Spartan's intensive program, I was hired by Northwest Airlines upon completion of my instrument rating.
