The first FAA-approved hybrid course for A&P mechanics, offering some of the coursework online, has graduated its first class from Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology in Tulsa, Oklahoma, officials at the school have announced. Fifteen students completed the program, which comprises 13 to 16 months of coursework online and then seven months at the Tulsa campus for hands-on training. "The whole objective of the program is to give young men and young women training required by the FAA to be certified as airplane and powerplant technicians," said Ron Worthington, Spartan vice president of curriculum development."Once they receive this FAA certification, it allows them to work on any U.S.-certified aircraft, its subsystems and components."
