– Thomas Renn, NAA Alum
"I chose to go to NAA over two other accredited schools around the country. I made the choice originally because of the short duration of the program, however along the way the professionalism and superior knowledge of the instructors became more and more evident and reaffirmed my choice of schools. Two days before graduation I had already interviewed with four potential employers and had three more lined up. I received job offers ranging from regional airlines to government contractors and corporate jet companies."
