hey i was hoping that someone might have gone to P.T.E.C and could give me an idle of how it is.

i am going to go in the marines for auto and well with every thing that is going on with the world they wont let me in with out college, so i am going to see about going to P.T.E.C and i am hoping that someone could tell me all about it. like is it all hand on is it mostly books, and is it a lot of money and well do you even learn anything like i know you Basie shit about car but i am not the hottest thing. and well i also want to know if the teachers r cool like well the site and help u out with everything talk it over. and can i do night school.
and when you do get done with the school what do u get.

if u could plz help me out like just brake it down for me of how everything goes,and how was it for you.

 

I havent taken classes there, but I went there for the SkillsUSA tournament a few years back. It looks like its mostly hands on, but theres DEFINITELY going to be some bookwork involved. There's not much you cant learn from experience, but there is so much you need to know before touching any part of a car.

 

the shit is good if your on the teachers good side you can kinda do what ever you want. work on your car etc. But if your not their on you all the time to do the all the work and if you have a problem they wont help you. But it is a good program very informative I've learned so much

 

thanks alot i am just trying to get so clue before i try to singe up you know

 

Ptec is great. I shadowed the auto mechanics class there earlier this year when I planned on going there. The instructors are great and very knowledgeable. The class is mostly all hands on in the shop with a mix of the classroom environment. Tuition was around $4,500 for the course and books then you need tools on top of that. If you haven't all ready you should look into FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid for a pell grant. There are also plenty of other grants and scholarships out there to cut the cost down. The only reason I didn't follow through with Ptec was because I wanted to do something bigger then just work on cars. I'm just a few months away from my A&P now. I would highly recommend Ptec. hopefully this helps you out man

 

Yeah its ok

 

the work is easy, theres alot of free time to work on your own stuff, ummm......i think the only bad thing i can say is that some of the teachers there are dumb as fuck. lol

 

also, when i was there i saw a couple cool cars here and there and toyota donated alot of stuff like engines and what not including a brand new 2jz crate engine

 

I think you need to go back to high school before you consider college. just my observation
