Denny,
Maybe a school you went to or know was a scam. The one I went two was
not. Lots of hands on and good instructors who worked the industry. I
learned a lot just chatting with them after class. You get out of it
what you put into it.

Of all the people who have earned their A&P license, something like
25% have never exercised the privileges of the certificate. That should
tell you something. I know several people who graduated approved
programs and never got the license. A&P schools are a scam because the
only thing you learn is to pass the test-if you are lucky. I think the
_only_ way to get the license should be the experience route (but
homebuilding and restoring should count.)
