Went and cheak out the school of automachanics tuesday 24th June admin make the school looked good but when we ask the students they said to go John D instead the is real 'waste'. While I asked some pass students said the is really good, excelent they learnt alot.. so now i confuesd

could it be that the school has decreased in quality onver the years?????

Current students said they were outside liming whole day dont know if there were teachers or not, they dont have enough tools for the students available

Hmmm well I think Jedi Master summed it up for us there , by the way

this is the problem in trinidad, I studied in the Uk because I could not find anywhere here that was worth anything and I had family over there. I did a BTEC national diploma in Autombile Engineering. it took 4 years and the theory is more important than the practical. The last year I worked with VW and then eventually stayed with them for a while.

I know a lot of people think tinkering with your car is the way to learn but you will have years of mistakes without understanding the basics. There are a lot of schools in the US these days. Its expensive so you going to have to work to subsidise your costs

[Jedi Master]

anyone knows where NESC is in Tunapuna??????????????

ATTENTION: UTT has auto mechanics

i was browsin through the papers n i noticed it

well i learn from helpin my mechanic also, i am working on getting a haynes manual too

[sMASH]

i went to the academy of automechanics and most of what the teacher taught was from 'how stuff works' ( no effort involved) and told us for more information to to check the internet
all the practical stuff i already knew by watching what my mechanic did when working on my cay,,, not much specific information to different types of vehicles

total waste in my OPINION

saltydog,check your pm please.
