Hear From Our Graduates
Real stories from students who turned their aviation dreams into real careers.
"…APMI gave me the opportunity I have now to have a career rather than just work a job. Traditional schooling wasn’t for me and through APMI I was able to get an education in a way that worked for me and allowed me to be successful. … I’m forever grateful for APMI opening their doors and allowing me to find a place to belong and prosper. From the director to every student, APMI is a community and a village that will support you on your journey not only while you’re there but as you continue to fly outside of the nest. I enjoyed my time here and I’d recommend anyone that’s even curious about aviation to give it a chance, you won’t regret it!"
— Tyler Pratt & Whitney Engine Repair Center
"I was in the first class when the school first opened. I now work for one of the biggest maintenance facilities in West Texas and am part of the AOG department. Working on everything from small GA airplanes all the way up to Commercial Jets. This dream could not be possible had I not had the support and found a school that helped prepare me for everything I needed to make my career possible."
