Pilot and Aircraft Maintenance Training Group Spartan Highlights Technician Training in 2025
USA – Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology, an aviation training group with nearly a century of experience, is addressing the national shortfall in aircraft maintenance technicians through its Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) program at its Broomfield campus.
-
Spartan College has trained thousands of aircraft mechanics at its Denver‑area (Broomfield) campus over the past 60+ years, while its main campus in Tulsa, Oklahoma offers additional aviation instruction.
-
The program admits approximately 400 students annually and spans 23 months, equally split between classroom theory and hands‑on instruction, fully preparing graduates for FAA Airframe & Powerplant certification exams.
-
“We work on the airframe, gear, landing gear, hydraulics, pneumatic systems, electronics, all the way to the turbine engine,” said Nicholas Brown, Broomfield Campus President and Spartan’s Chief Academic Officer.
-
“We give students classroom instruction about 50% of the time, and the other 50% is going to be hands‑on… to be eligible for their certification exams upon graduation,” Brown explained.
-
The curriculum was updated in September 2022 to reflect current industry needs—shifting emphasis from general aviation toward commercial and business aircraft training, including turbine engines and advanced systems.
-
“More often times than not, when I go to a classroom and talk to students at the K‑12 level, they didn’t even know that this was an option for them,” Brown said, highlighting the need for early awareness efforts.
-
Boeing forecasts a need for 123,000 new maintenance technicians in North America over the next two decades, while Oliver Wyman anticipates a 25% shortage by 2027.
