college help!!!!

Hello everyone I need your input on something that's been my mind now....I've been doing mechanical cbmt levels....I've been offered an apprenticeship at "imperial" (I'm sure you know who the imperial group is) but they offering me N courses(the theory side of things)....now my question is what is better? Cbmt (competent based training) certificates (practicals with basic theory) or N certificates (theory in depth only!).....and I hope this is the appropriate sect to post this thread

What is that mechanic school?

In my experience the more in-depth theory side is associated with a higher degree of education and higher salary. For me it was the difference between electrical engineering (more theory) and electrical engineering technology (more technical hands on). Don't know if it's the same for you but always choose what's going to look better on a resume, don't assume that apprenticeship is going to lead to a full time position there.

Also I know this is just a car audio forum but your grammar could use some work as well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Lol thnx for the wise words....I spoke to a couple of my dads friends that works at vw, he said theory is good to know but practical seems a bit better....putting an engine together is more impressive then reading about it....and I'm at college of cape town (cct) in south africa

If you are doing this to be a mechanic you want the competent training, IMO.
