Completely wrong.
A Part 61 school cannot provide M1 Visa training unless they have a Part 141 application in process - for the simple reason that Part 61 School cannot sponsor a foreign student for the issuance of a M1 visa in the first instance.
However a SEVIS approved Part 141 School can train the foreign student under Part 61 regulations if the student wishes.
