The media is full of advertisements for trade schools computers, motorcycle, etc. I have conducted extensive research and cannot find a clear conscience answer. Are the schools worth the money and expense? One of the motorcycle schools for example upon graduation offers an entire set of tools. Is there some place, which rates the different schools and trades? I would welcome your advice and input.

Not that I know of, but trade schools, esp those operated by the state are very great, I have had one son who went though the heating and air and plumbing and owns his own contracting company now.

His brother went though the Heat and Air and does very well

And the younger brother went though plumbing school and earns very high pay.

You should contact the school and ask if they are Approved by your state (which is a requirement of a good school in the States) and Accredited, which is voluntary, but considered manditory.
