Need advice about Sage/Certificate please!

Hi folks,

I was wondering if I could get some advice regarding obtaining a CDL through Sage technical school in MT.

I went in the other day and spoke with the head trainer, and he explained they either have the "full" $3,600 package where you get a certificate.. or an "À la carte" package where they sell 4hr blocks of training for $400. He stated I could probably do 4-6 blocks of training and be fine to pass the cdl...but NO certificate. He mentioned some major companies (Sanjel, etc.) want to see the certificate...but that I would need to research on my own as to what companies such as oil field companies really look for a certificate.


So..do I pay the extra 1k-1.5k and get the certificate?


Any input would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks,

David in MT

 

Do you really think 16-20 hours of training are enough?
Be honest with yourself.

 

No...I do not. My biggest concern is securing employment, and after hearing about their price packages I was a little confused.

Thanks

 

I went to Sage in March. I wasn't offered a program such as that but I wouldn't have taken it anyways. They training is PTDI certified. Some employers look highly on it others could care less.
