    I haven't seen many recent posts about schools in the Atlanta area. Trying to decide which one to attend.

    I've been accepted for Athens Tech for the night class. I'd rather attend a day class.

    Have been checking out Athens, Chattahoochee, and Georgia Piedmont. GP is not currently taking apps due to covid. I've heard good things about Athens and Chattahoochee, if I decided to go to Athens for day class, I'll have to wait until January to start. I'm guessing it'll be Jan. for Chatt as well. No big deal, I already have a job and am not in a huge rush. Just looking for quality training.

    Not really interested in paid company training or spending 3500-7000 for a private academy. Have heard mostly bad things about some of the private training companies around here.

    Any input would be great. Thanks!

    Tech schools, Vocational schools, community college schools are all ok.
    What type job do you want after graduation?
    Before graduation, get all endorsements, passport book or passport card, TWIC identification.
    You can start on those now.
