    Where you went and when.
    Before we started training our own we sent them to school. Every trainee walked in with a med card, permit and a fresh drug screen.
    There might be some differences between one school and the next and now that some things have changed there might not be as much deviation in programs.

    He didn't say you CAN'T be naked, just that it isn't required.

    Ummmm NO...the places I have been for physicals I have never been to one that I would want the examiner to take their clothes off. I think I would run screaming from the building if they did!

    My last one was done by a hot young nurse and a pritty nice middle aged woman. I would have been very pleased to have them strip for me!

    As far as certificatons/endorsments... I was told that private schools get those for you while you are with them, but can you get them cheaper at other places during school at other places other than that school or after school? What about if I'm getting trained at my first job instead of a private school... will they be able to get me those certifications also whichever ones I want, even if those endorsements have nothing to do with that specific job? Sorry I'm not sure how endorsements work. Thanx.

    All the endorsements are, are separate written tests.

    I just tested for all when I initially took my permit test, before any school.

    There is no training for them. Just study up & take written tests.

    The practice tests on this site were extremely helpfull in preparation.
