Teterboro School of Aeronautics

I am a 1980 graduate of TSA. I am certain that things have changed over the years, but I learned what I needed to know to get my Mechanic license with Airframe and Powerplant ratings. That is the whole purpose of the school. It is Not a college. It is a technical school. It did what I needed, and I had fun doing it. The test of whether it did its job is gaining employment in the field after graduation. I did. Falcon Jet (while it was still at Teterboro) for 2 years, then Sikorsky Aircraft for 34 years and counting. I think they did what I paid them to do, namely, turn my Navy experience into an A&P license.

I'm a current student at the school now and I can say that instructor are very good and helpful

Theres an old saying,

"A bad mechanic blames his tools."

My personal experience with this school is amazing! Those that left bad reviews dont understand what these instructor go through day in and day out striving to teach kids who cant appreciate their hard work. There is no sugar coating the school, it is private and theyre lack of any government or state funding shows that. What they lack in they more than make up for with their instructors. If you take the time to ask questions they will do their best to help and ive been there many times. And for the one guy complaining about the "dean" I hope your not talking about Ed bennett because that man is the most straight forward and knowledgeable guy. When he always taught my class we rarely had questions because of how he laid out his teaching it was so easy to understand. All in all, we need to hear more positive reviews, these people deserve it.

Trust the reviews and talk to everyone who has the strength to deal with how rude some of the instructors are especially the "dean" of the school. Don't let the smiles fool you like they did for me. They're the cheapest for a reason.

They scam you with tution money you end up paying for more then when you sign the papers. Then during and later they hit you with more fees. Basically if you want to go into this field go to another school because this school is all about making money nothing else. They don't even teach half of the program.
