    There is no "best" only what's best for you. That being said. From what I've heard, seen and experienced: Avoid Stevens. Avoid Driver's Solution. Prime is good. The other two I have no experience nor have actually read too much about.

    Write up a list pro's in one column, con's in the other. For each school. Don't forget to factor in what you make AFTER you "graduate" and how long it might take you to get there. I know what Schnieder offered us, I know what Werner offered us (after his graduation from where he went). Neither were very good. That's why he's at Prime.

    I think if you don't have the money to put up for the school it would be best for you to find the best company for you that offers training.

    I have read bad reviews on them as well, I am the one who is looking up these schools and while I know that none of them are perfect, I do not want to send him off on a suicide mission either,lol:biggrin_2559: You attended Prime, how long was the training?how long before you received you first check? How much per week during training? And then after? Thank you for responding.:biggrin_25525:
