    Only thing I can tell you is most companies want to see 160hrs from an accredited school.
    Also vast majority of company school programs are only 1yr of service to clear your financial responsibility.
    I've literally never heard of any company requiring two years service.

    Is that El Paso Community College?
    If the school is 160 hrs. then that's a good price.

    4 weeks is 160 hours.
    Many companies will hire you and you don't really need the schools job placement service since many drivers on here can give you names of companies.
    Which companies are the school pushing; let us know.
