BigDaddy, Don't know much about the school (not in the business)....but I can tell you I just had my 07' BF-650 in the local "Stealer/Dealer" here on Eastern Long Island and paid $90/hour for my "10 hour checkup" (3 hour's billable)...
Amazing, My family Doctor is cheaper..lol

the 90 an hour is shop rate. the mechanic may be seeing 15 an hour or something close to that.

anyway, the online schools are nice as long as you actually read and study the books. some people will just take the tests and look through the books for the answers for an easy certificate.
i actually bought a used quad in pretty rough shape just for hnads on during the course. since i bought it for school, i actually wrote the quad off as a tax break.

 

My opinion.
Online schools are not worth very much. If you just want to lean the systems it would be ok I guess.
You need at least 50% hands on or it's just not worth it IMHO.

Would you want a surgeon that just studied from books to cut you open?
