    Great job!
    I am up here in fort wayne. They have a C-1 school up here to. about 5 ? miles away.
    I am setting up to go to SAage down in Indy. Why would you chose C-1 over Sage?
    Are you from Indy?

    Im from Indy and I taught at C1 like I said, and even I recommend Sage over C1!! Sage will give you 1 on 1 driving time. C1 always has 3 and usually 4 students per truck.

    If you don't mind me asking, when did you leave C1? As far as Edwards goes I went there some while attending C1 I agree it's good. Mike the school director spoke well of it that first day of class.

    That was my primary gripe about C1. You stand out on the range all day and get maybe 45 minutes to an hour behind the wheel. Our instructor Dwayne would go out on the streets most of the time because of the cold. It's a small wonder any of us picked up enough practice time to pass the state testing.

    Its been about 3 years. I was mostly there on the weekends.

    Its been a while, but if Dwayne is the guy Im thinking of (skinny black guy in his 30s) he actually got arrested at work one day. Cant remember what for, but IMPD showed up with a warrant.

    But anyways..Yes C1 likes to save money by giving the students plenty of "observation time"....You dont learn a whole lot just watching people. Sure you learn from their mistakes, but not nearly as much as doing it yourself.

    From what Ive been told, Sage only does 1 on 1 training in the truck.
