Recordkeeping Systems

A Member Asked...

A member recently asked what learning management systems were frequently used by other certificated aviation maintenance technical schools to satisfy part 147 student recordkeeping requirements. We at ATEC thought it was a good opportunity to both share best practices, and highlight the duplicative requirements imposed on A&P programs through the current part 147.

A person with knowledge of the recordkeeping systems at each certificated school is asked to respond to the short survey. Once a survey is submitted, respondents will be redirected to the community's tallied responses.

Maybe (please explain)

Question Title

* 4. Are any of the recordkeeping systems you use (as identified above) separate and distinct from the learning management system (LMS) your institution uses to administer broader program and course offerings?

Yes, our institution's LMS cannot track all FAA-required information, so we maintain more than one recordkeeping system.

No, we use the same LMS to track progress for both part 147 and non-part 147 programs students.
