I know a few that went to tampa tech for high school. they liked the program.....

Hcc has a class that I and a few more on this forum attended a few years ago. It was good to get some of the basics. Basically to get you into a shop as a helper. from there you learn most of your training in the real world.

Ptec has a program but focuses more on the custom side of things...which is fine but not where all the money is. I would go after the collision side and then learn the custom on your own if that is what interests you.

I am lucky to make a living in the custom field but I could make alot more doing more collision work.

Hope I helped.
