Im going into my 2nd year this fall. First year is super fun guys!

[SiRiUSeclipse]

sweet good to hear! Pulse crx, since it's your second year, I have a couple questions.

Is it necessary to take the SAIT program? or can a person just apprentice at a shop and take just the technical courses that are 2 months or so per apprenticeship year.

Was the 1st year beneficial in your opinion?

I noticed a huge price difference in tuition, in taking the just the technical training ($672) or the actual full year program at ~$4300. I realize you will get 16months of credit though after 2 years at SAIT.

[CivicTunr]

what class are you guys in?

[pulse_crx]

You can just do the full apprentice through a shop, or you can take the SAIT AST program. I find that the program goes more into depth into theory, its a really good program and I will be going back for my 2nd year. Also good because you can work on your own cars!

You can write that off from income tax while in school.
