This press release corrects a press release sent out on Tuesday, December 6 to clarify that the FAA suspended the company�s certificate, and did not revoke it.
�
ATLANTA�� The U.S. Department of Transportation�s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an order suspending the certificate of Atlanta Technical College (ATC) of Atlanta, Ga. ATC�s Air Agency Certificate is suspended pending compliance with the order.
�
�
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ATC has not enrolled any students or conducted any classes in the AVMT program since May 2014, and the FAA rescinded its approved curriculum in June 2014.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.
