Bob passed last winter i beleive. House fire.

My step dad Gary Phares has been working at the manassas campus for the last 25+years. He is master certified and the only one that runs the machine shop. They have all sorts of automotive classes Brad. Everything from 101 like oil changes and rotations, and all the way up to grinding valves. The welding lab is pretty bad ass also

 

man that is terrible. Bob was a great teacher and a very kind person.

 

one of my classes was in the autotech place.. it's a really nice facility. i heard the auto classes at Manassas were really good. i heard it's better than going to like Lincoln Tech or whatever

 

I dont know. Better is pretty subjective when it comes to tech training schools. I see a big UTI banner above the typing box that im typing in right now. Supposedly its the "best" tech school for automotive. I know people that were drawn into their advertising and tell me its a huge POS there and the majority of students are jackasses after they actually went there.

They all give you the same set of information. Maybe one school might have more experienced master techs teaching and can demonstrate efficient teaching processes, but for the most part its what you make of it.

 

I've tried to take Welding classes at the Manassas campus for two summer terms in a row, and they only offer it at Sterling at that time (or at least they did at the time)

 

I mean.. keep in mind I don't plan on doing it for a living so lincoln tech or UTI and whatnot are out.. I just asked because @ 87 bucks a credit x 3 credits for NOVA I can afford to take a class on heads or something for fun.
