Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology is Proud to Celebrate 35 Years of Accreditation
The Council on Occupational Education (COE) recognized Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology for completing thirty-five years of accredited status at the Council’s Annual Meeting at the end of last year in Atlanta, Georgia.

The award of accreditation is based on an evaluation to demonstrate that the institution meets not only the standards of quality of the Council, but also the needs of students, the community, and employers.
The Commission’s evaluation process includes an extensive self-study by the institution and an intensive review by a visiting team of professional educators representing the Commission’s member institutions from other states.

The members include postsecondary public technical institutes and colleges, specialized military and national defense schools, Job Corps Centers, private career schools, non-profit workforce education providers, corporate and industry education units, federal agency institutions and registered apprenticeships.
