i'm about half way through my course at Nashville Auto Diesel Colege... its a good school, not as much hands on as i'd like, but its 13 months from beginning to end, and text books, uniforms, and everything else is included. they offer auto , auto diesel , diesel , heavy equipment, hi performance fab, hi performance engines, and auto body. i'd definately recommend it to anyone looking to get a start in any of those fields.
