FAA Issues
Emergency Order Revoking Certificate of Atlanta Technical College
�
ATLANTA�� The U.S. Department of
Transportation�s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an emergency
order revoking the maintenance technician school certificate of Atlanta
Technical College (ATC) of Atlanta, Ga.
�
The FAA alleges that ATC failed to
maintain approved grade, attendance, and make-up reports for students in
numerous courses in its Aviation Maintenance Technology (AVMT) program. �
Student grade records were either
not maintained or incomplete and were not signed by instructors. �Several students who had not made up absences
were nevertheless allowed to move on to the next block of instruction, the FAA
alleges.
�
ATC has not enrolled any students
or conducted any classes in the AVMT program since May 2014, and the FAA
rescinded its approved curriculum in June 2014. �However, ATC
has continued to administer exit examinations and issued certificates of
completion to its former students when it knew it was not authorized to do so,
the FAA alleges.
�
Additionally,
ATC did not provide the FAA with requested copies of each certificate of
completion and a detailed analysis of how students received certificates in the
absence of an FAA-approved curriculum, the agency alleges.
�
ATC surrendered its certificate.
