Wow, 4 months of training for $7k

I'm sure it's good training.. it better be. I have a local technical school that's 7 1/2 weeks for $1700 here in TN. That should be plenty of training. It is also PTDI certified.

Best of luck to you.

I TEST OUT in 1 WEEK!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!

Its finally happening!

SMX Here I come!!!!!!!!!

Would you recommend AIT?
 

I am thinking about AIT in Phoenix, I have been there one a month ago. I am looking at a career change and I am looking for some positive feedback.

I checked them out and they seem to be a nice school.
little bit pricey but it should be a tax right off or some
companies will reimburse you up to $5000 of it @ $100 a month.
I'd rather write it off at the end of the year.
I should be going there late July or early Aug, sat and sunday classes
till Xmas then start driving in January some time with a trainer.
should be a cool start for the new year.

AIT appears to be a good school...and yes, kinda pricey....but they will help you get a job...

It was mentioned in this thread and other places about state grants...and if your unemployed you can get a grant...any idea where I need to look??

Thks..

Any others? Im a candidate for the AIT program in Phoenix, AZ and am trying to get the full story. The program seems totally credible, my counsleor was awsome and she totally broke it down for me. She told me exactly how it was: "If your not willing to complete this training, this isn't the right place for you","We are going to get you a job before you start school", and "employment for life" are some key terms I heard while I was in her office.

The grounds seem pretty older, but the equip looks pretty good. Has anyone had a problem with the mosquitoes in the classroom? I saw a big can when I was there last.

Also I hear Schinder has a skid pad is this crucial to training? I may have missed it but I didn't see one at AIT. Pretty good sized range looks like it covers 100 Straight Back-up, 45-Alley Dock, 90 Alley, and Possibly double parking? Someone correct me if im wrong.

New kid ready to get to school in June just tryin' to obtain as much info first. Thanks in advance.

Do anyone have any new information on this school? I've been going to this school for awhile and the school seem to push only two companies (Werner/Swift). The mention of any other carrier you get the "deer in the head light look".
