I've been thinking about pursuing my A&P as well. Please keep us posted on what you find. I did a bit of Google searching about a month ago, but didn't get far. I don't need another degree and it seemed that's what was consuming the first 10 pages of my search results.

Zero,

What is the sequence of events to get the A&P? I see you said you will go to school after an interview with the fsdo. Do they have to approve you to go to school? I would like to get mine done this fall also.

This is more to answer Rod's question (I think) then the original question about the exam School.

Here's the list from the FAA of all A&P schools. These are the schools where you start from scratch to get the A&P (not exam prep schools).

Default a&p

Buz, I am looking at Kings School as a pre test course that reveiws every part of the exam. I have the work experience and a letter from an IA saying I am eligable to take the exam. FISDO has to approve me to take the exam also. If you have no work experience you can go thru a 2 year school.I think the work experience is 18 months power plant 18 months airframe or 30 months combined.

I wouldn't take the prep course until after I had the FSDO approval to take the test.

Just me, I suppose.

Default I used National Aviation Academy

in Clearwater, FL, last year ---- for "experienced" folks with the FSDO sign-off (get a couple of good recommendation letters from local I/As and have documented history/log of your work). The school was two intensive weeks for the three written exams, and prep for the O&P, which was arranged with local DMEs.

By the way, my local FSDO guy said work on experimentals did not count toward "experience". (just the messenger!).
