Hi Mike,
We don’t have enough first-hand knowledge to give you a firm recommendation. We do have students who will combine our training with an on-site school like Fred’s or Dyer Academy. They are both reputable schools. But because it’s quite a lot of money, most of our students find other ways to get hands-on practice, either by working on appliances for friends/family, acquiring used appliances to practice on (and maybe sell), etc., or by working for an appliance repair company for a few years or so before branching out on their own. Some people we train just jump right into offering professional repair service and basically learn on the job!
