| I'm starting a PDTI school next month. I imagine (all i have to go on) it's a plus. But the question is whether or not it makes a appreciable difference, and what that difference might be. As already posted, some companies won't hire you without it, so the answer would be yes, if you want to work for that company. Another thing to consider of course, is how it relates to cost. If PTDI certification costs more, how much more is it than any other shcool you're considering that isn't certified? The real point I'm trying to make here is PTDI is only one factor of many to consider, but a factor never the less. I may draw some fire for this, but I think that in an odd way, it's more important what you think about the PTDI, because you're the one with the decission to make. Good Luck! |

| If you go to PTDI's website they list the schools with the certification. There aren't that many. Not to sling names, but one company that sponsors training is PTDI certified. However, they have a driver safety rating that hovers just above the deficient line. In my opinion, if the company that you want to work for doesn't require it than don't worry about it. Persoanlly, I think it's a paid for certification if a school wants to shell out the bucks. But that's just my opinion. If it really meant anything it would be a standard for schools to follow and not an optional item. |
