Is Sheffield School accredited? In order for me to receive (military branch) tuition assistance, the TA office needs to know to which accreditation body you are affiliated.

We are FAA-approved (and have operated continuously since 1948). We are also approved for Veteran’s training. Our course is typically considered too short for most accreditation agencies that oversee traditional colleges/universities. Sheffield answers to higher authorities than many accrediting agency groups who visit a campus infrequently and/or know very little about the content of the material instructed. A good FAA inspection team is more knowledgeable about the material instructed and FAR Part 65 (school requirements) than any independent accrediting agency.
