Isn't this the same school that had some legal complaints against them for misleading potential students? Either way, $7k + interest is highway robbery! Plenty of other community colleges that offer 10 week courses for way, way less than $7K.

Yes, wayyyyyyy too much time on my hands. The more I research this crap the more some of it stinks. Anyway, I haven't called them back to check on parking at the terminal yet. I need to find a reasonably priced school first.

yep jim same school but they now have there act together think at that time there was a different director but don't know for sure any way at my interview they made sure they did not give any false hopes. the only gaurantee they made is to get my cdl at no additional cost no matter how long it takes and there financial aid package is good federal loans at a payback rate of $50 a month seems good to me since i will go to a company like MARTEN that offers tuition reimbursement i should not have to worry about paying da bill so thanks everyone for your comments,concerns,or complaints all i know is 10 weeks in class room and 10 weeks on the field and road is gonna teach me lots more than them 3 week crash courses that are out there :shock:

There aren't any community colleges that teach truck driving in Massachusetts though.

This NETTS thing sounds good because of the hours, you can get the CDL while still working your normal job. Helps keep medical benefits for the family ttoo. $7K though, that's a lot. Does it matter if you have a Class B already? We're looking for some sort of course that isn't really for new drivers, DH has been driving a tow truck, fire truck & cement truck for 20 years.

Good luck with the course. I see it is run in coordination with NETTS. How long is it and what is the tuition fee? Is it a fairly new offering there?
