well then ud be perfect for this class. its really fun and youll learn A LOT. Plus over the summer, theres the performance class. Definetly look it up, the classes used to start in the fall, but im pretty sure they changed that. Give the chesapeake TCC campus a call and ask for the number to David Lee of the automotive department (i had his number but i lost it). if you cant get a hold of him, i can get you his number.

P.S. We arent gunna be into the new building till sometime later this year i think, so id suggest you ask him about when the classes will switch buildings so you can spend your whole time in the new place.

just for your info
i think they might open a UTI around dullas in the coming months
personally i was about to go to the one in PA(i think) and honestly its a good program. I have a handful of friends that just graduated and they work at dealerships. On a personal note I decided not to go bc of 2 reasons
1) it was like 22000 dollars for the program i wanted to get into, which was the basic training, super street tuning, Hot Rod U, and BMW specialized training.
2)I wanted a degree so yea lolz
just call a recruiter if you want i can give you a number of one(think i still have it). Also look into the the NOVA program for auto techs


oh btw.....you don't need exp to get into these schools, but having some knowledge helps........(me smiling)lolz

good luck dude

Edit: they have all the tools, lifts, etc., at the school.

$80 a credit hour, you also have to take english and other shit too, in order to get the degree over the 2 years. Its around $1200 per semster give or take as a full time student but you can take less or more classes per semester. Each semester is 16 weeks. Per semester the auto class is 10 credit hours, and the other classes are 3, (though you do have to take a student deveopment class the first semester that is 1 credit hour).

I go to NTI and I think it's a great school. The only problem is that the test are very easy so stupid people can pass and UTI can make money. The teachers here have A LOT of experience when it comes to cars and racing so you will get your moneys worth if you pick there brains enough.

What's good about the school is that after all the basic classes you can get Nissan and Ford certified. Also Toyota at other campuses. You can also get accepted to schools for Porsche, BMW, ect... but they tell you were to live and make you sign a contract all sorts of BS.

Honestly all these schools are good it just depends on how much effort YOU put into it. I try to research about cars almost everyday and will come on here as well as other forums to help people on there cars. I will learn something new everyday day, when comparing myself to others that have started with me I think I have accelerated further then them because of that.
