I went to the school for about a year and a half in PHX. I now work at Brock's Performance in my home town of Dayton, OH. The school is very nice with lots of motorcycles, atvs, and dirt bikes to work on. I went through all of the big 4 courses, which was a lot of fun. There are a few things I loved about the school and a few things I did not, but I think you can say that for just about anything. After graduation I moved back to Ohio and started working for Brock again, like before I went to school. You can ask Brock, I showed a big improvement on what I could do with a motorcycle from just going to the school. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Jason did you work while you was down there? If so was it hard finding work? Did they actually help with job placement for other guys? I live in Cincinnati myself.

Was getting set to go myself, but have a little one on the way. Not sure if the wife would want to make that move.
We'll see what happens in the future.
Much success to you Sigma.

I worked at Enterprise Rent a Car for about 7 months and worked at U-haul for about a Year...no shops hire guys from school unless you want to PDI bikes all day...and that is no fun. Brock asked me before I graduated if I wanted to come back to Ohio and work...so needless to say I did not need the job placement. But they did help me get the two jobs above while I was in school. I have spoken to a few guys about the Orlando facility; they all said it was not fun at all. I had a great time in PHX, they weather was great, girls were great, and I lived with my brother on Arizona State University's campus ...it was a very long drive to school and work though.

ASU campus...sounds like the long drive was worth it...must have been where you met Brock's new poster models...
