When our kid was in private school, he decided he wanted to go to technical school.
They had a program in school where they could go to technical school as area of their proper private school schedule.
They took their academics half of the day and spent the other half in their chosen technical course. My kid brought home a schedule of classes they provided and he and his father sat down and went over all of the provided classes. When our kid chose Heating, Ventilation and A/C, our hubby was a bit unsure of his choice. He was afraid that he would be putting four years into a heating, ventilation and cooling system course and yet he would still need to go to classes after graduation, to get his certification. When they had the orientation for the technical school, our hubby and I went with our son. The people I was with and I had our own questions to ask of the lecturers. By the time we were done, our hubby knew that our kid was making a wise choice. Heating, Ventilation and A/C was a class that he had to take for his four years of private school. When he graduated from private school, as long as his grades were good, he would graduate with a certification in heating and cooling system. He would be able to get his certificate and go right into an apprentice program with 1 of the local Heating, Ventilation and A/C companies. That was almost fifteen years ago. My kid now has his own Heating, Ventilation and A/C dealer and he is 1 of the top Heating, Ventilation and A/C professionals in our state.
