Thanks

they are still advertising that it is approved in their literature. Im taking it right now. I think the material they cover is relevent and thurough, (they use jeppesen maintainence manuals as texts) but the exams are lacking in terms of diffuculty...you can easily whip through entire units in hours, skimming thru the texts for the answers. I think if you want to become an AME i wouldnt recommend it, go to college; however if you are doing it for other reasons (such as myself) than for $700, you cant beat it.
cheers

i know one "ame" who took this course...i don't think the guy even knows how a wing works besides that it's needed to fly

i don't know WHY courses like this are even approved, they're certainly no substitute for going to school!!! but that's just been my experience...

one of the good things about this course is that mechanics who have been in the industry for a while without doing a college course can work at this one for their licensing.

Also if you cannot afford or cannot get two years off for college then it makes some sense.
