full time trade school. part time won't do you the justice to fully understand the concepts, have enough hands on, etc.

Any guy can study for the EPA 608 and pass but without schooling or experience they wouldn't know A SINGLE FUCKING THING, they'd be out there googling every problem like a dipshit.

So I'd go full time and immerse yourself. I favor trade school because they are for-profit and literally get their money because they get you a good job (they should have good placement). Community colleges in general could care less, the teacher might be great but they won't help you find shit. Some companies around here will pay to send their guys to night classes while they work day at CC though because they have good courses and great labs.

This is how it is around here anyway, GL.
