I will say this, only because too many shops want to see that paper is it worth going. All and really do mean all the best bike mechanics I have known didn't go to any bike schools. It was all good ole fashioned hands on learning. Passion drove them, a true love of bikes drove them. No school will give you that. Nor in the short time you will be there could they ever give you the knowledge that just sitting down and just working on bikes will give you. I'm not saying don't go, just to keep all this is mind. Never stop learning and don't think just cause your done there that you are done. This probly sounds redundant to you but I have met quite a few who have lost sight of all this... anyway good luck to you and enjoy your time there...
