I went to Bakers a few years ago and I would also highly recommend them for the A&P. I have heard there has been a change of instructors since but colleagues who have recently been would also recommend it. They seem to have a good structure there with very good pass rates.

Of course it helps that you can also have a lot of fun in Nashville.

Hi!
I am looking in getting my EASA B1 license transferred (enhanced) while living in LAX.
The job market for non A&P license holders in the US is very difficult and I need a quick fix for this problem.
I have the study guide books at home and started studying but I have a few question:
I have a green card and have about 8 years in EASA B1 experience.
Unfortunately the last two years I have been behind a desk and not on the aircraft. Can I still take the tests and get the license, or must i prove practical work first??
Can you please give me pointers on how to meet the requirements to take the test in Riverside with AVTech and then get FAA O&P testing done.

I appreciate any help you guys can give me. I am currently on the job market and don't feel like freelancing in Africa to make ends meet anymore…been there way too many times…

Thanks

My 2 cents - From a OZ LAME who did my A&P at DSA Addison airport TX many years ago and I can highly recommend. Get the ASA study guides, highlight answers only and read through twice, then do practice exams on computer at school, should be less than week to pass all three. Practical consisted of being 'walked' through day prior, ie 'if I asked you to time this mag you would do like so, if I asked you to buzz out a wire what would look for?' if you come from a normal aircraft maintenance background will be no problem.


Did my IA one week course at Bakers Nashville and as previous posts said great school with a good pass rate. Other than FAR brain overload somewhere around Tuesday night which requires live music and beer to overcome, if you can't pass a Bakers course please choose a different career path..

Bakers looks like the go but FAA changing A&P process in October 2015.
If I can't get there this November it looks like Jan/Feb.
Any updates ?
