I am in the Air Force stationed at Travis. There have been e-mails sent out by AESA's president, Jim Doyle. They offer an AAS in Computer Science, and the majority of the classes grant you licenses on top of college credit, such as FCC Radar Endorsement, A+ Certification, etc.
He claims to have traveled around various military bases, teaching hundreds... Funny thing is, I can't find any information on him besides his own website and a few directory listings.
I know pursuing a degree with a non-regionally accredited school may be foolish, but I am starting his FCC Radar class next week, and TA covered all of it. I'd just like my A+ certification really, and he offers training for that as well.
Has anybody heard anything about him? I'm new to college stuff, so if anybody is kind enough to do some research, I'd be very grateful. Thank you so much!

First. Travis, over in Fairfield area is a nice area. Hope you are enjoying that area
Second. Jim Doyle is no liar. But, there are a few things you should consider.
These guys have traveled up and down the west coast providing technical qualifications in areas like Fiber Optic Repair, and various other areas in technology. I didnt complete their course because of deployment capability didnt allow the kind of time needed to complete their course in Fiber Optics.
There course was spectacular and if I could have I would have taken it and TA would have fit the bill. They set there courses up by the hours because so much classrom time is required for TA courses and they usually are good for military members stationed in one area who have the time and wont be deploying and need the "Technical Certification" which requires hours.
For my Associates I would not have gone through them degree I would have gone( and did) elsewhere. Its too intensive to go through a program thats not going to be on par with all other nationwide schools.
My recommendation. If they have ACE evaluated courses transfer them to the school you search out to complete your degree in while obtaining certification from them. Or talk with their advisors to find out if they transfer to California State schools. If they dont you wont get very far with any school outside of California either.
All the best. And hope you can make the best use of your time.
