How do I find out if a private training provider (plumbing) is any good?

You cant find out, until you have joined it. \nMost of the private training teaches you in theory.\nIf you want to learn, see a job as an plumber's assistant and work with them. In this way  will learn different types of job they do

I grew up in rural KY....  You shouldn't  be worried about an observation area as much as you should be worried about if they have indoor plumbing.  GO WEST 30-40 MINUTES AND HAVE THAT KID IN LEXINGTON!

Talk to the post office about a mailing address. Talk to the power company (probably an elec coop) about cost for electric service (they usually run a certain amount of line free and you pay for the rest), get some quotes on a septic system from contractors who install such systems. They will run the perk test as a part of the cost. The septic system will probably cost $2,000 to $6,000. The water line you will probably have to run from the road yourself. \n\nA lot of times you can get rough estimates over the phone from good contractors.

Hubby and I had a great experience diving with Pro Dive in Ft. Lauderdale.  We didn't take their course, but we really liked their dive masters and their equipment seemed very good, which is essential to good experience.  Check them out:\n\nhttp://www.prodiveusa.com/

I work for a builder and several buyers have used them.  I would say they are reputable.

I just enrolled in the print version of the Business course there, and so far things seem to be going well. I was VERY cautious before enrolling because I didn't want to end up with a degree that wasn't worth anything. I'm still researching how respected their degrees are, but on a positive note, they are accepted by VA (Veteran's Administration) for educational benefits under the Montgomery G.I. Bill so they can't be too bad or else they wouldn't approve them.

Basically it is a former polytechnic. I was there for a short diploma course a few years ago. I enjoyed it. The beer is cheap, the women are four or five out of ten (usually 32b to 36d), the food is awful and served in a grubby, crowded canteen, everyone has really horrible, grating accents. The lecturers are nice people and the ones I met varied from competent to actually interesting. Nobody cares whether you get what you thought you would get out of your course so be prepared to insist. Pick a course where the trainer has real world experience of what he is teaching.

I am a HVAC trainer and troubleshooter working in the Southern New England area.  Furnaceman Technologies provides technical support and training services to several HVAC wholesalers in this area, and we offer similar support services to wholesalers throughout the USA.  \n\nWe are ready to start offering an 8 Month training program that covers most of the fundamental theoretical HVAC subject matter that you would need in this trade.  The training is almost 100% theory, and we only accept people who are working in HVAC related trades (plumbing, electrical, and heating/cooling), as their day job represents the best lab experience possible.  The fee for the entire course will probably be in the neighborhood of $3500.00.  \n\nThe one year schools that offer this information, along with limited lab time, often charge in the $16,000 - $23,00 range … so our program is only a fraction of what they charge.  Our classes meet twice a week for four hours each, and there are a total of 50 classes to this program.  If you are interested, take a look at www.furnaceman.com .... go to the middle of the page and click on "Fast Track" Eight Month Program.  You will see outlines of the five courses that make up this program.  Again, this is theory, and students will want to come to class alert and ready to participate.  We present this information using state of the art electronic media, we offer web site information on the subjects being covered, and we work real hard to get the student to thoroughly understand the material.  \n\nI'm thinking this is an exceptional deal in that we don't promote any brand of equipment, and this is not a sales pitch, just solid theory for this exciting trade.  Please realize, this is fundamental theory, and taking this program does not make you a “seasoned technician”.  But having this information will place you in a position where you will be solving problems while other self proclaimed “technicians” are only scratching their heads .  In many ways, you will be ahead of the majority of the established technicians in this field as they don’t really understand the theory of why things happen.  Too many self proclaimed technicians are really only parts changers, and trial and error mechanics.  Few, self proclaimed “technicians” have the theoretical base to understand why things are not working correctly, thus they really don’t know how to troubleshoot and correct problems.  \n\nWe promote the following phrase: Once you understand the theoretical "why", the mechanical "how" becomes easy.  \n\nIf you decide to enter this trade, please study you butt off, and continue study as you will never know it all.  We need highly trained technicians in this trade, we don’t need any more “hacknicians”.

I'm sure you can find them at any plumbing supply store.  Isn't myth-taken-as-fact bad enough without having to throw an element of fraud into it?

Go to the Library and find the free study guides. Take the plumbing license test and you are on your way.

Gleasons is the best.  They have experience and history to back them up.  It is right under the Brooklyn Bridge and you can train for the day for only $15 (trainer extra).  They have some great trainers there and it is a true boxing gym complete with rings (2 boxing and 1 wrestling) an assorment of heavy bags, speed bags, DEB's plus weights and other training tools.  The people there are great and eager to help.  If you are looking for a trainer, ask the owners - they are very willing to help you out. I suggest you bring your own equipment (gloves, wraps, locker lock etc) and be ready for a good hard workout.
