As a former driver (12 years ago), I now get to go back to school to get my license again. Passed the written test and the physical - now I have to decide on a private or a sponsered school. After reading many of the helpful entries on this forum, the answer is still elusive. Any further advise would help.

If you have read the post about company sponsored vs private schooling, which there are many, then you have all the info you need. Can't really say which is better for you cause it depends completely on your situation in your life and what you are ready to do.

If your a fast learner and do great under pressure and little to no money up front then go company school.

If your slower to pick things up and need more time to learn stuff a private school maybe more to your liking but can cost a lot more.

It's really only a decision that only you can make.

Honestly I liked the freedom to have interviews anywhere and have a chance to drive anywhere. I like to leave options open. I wasn't much a fan of having to commit a year to up front. I know its the price you pay for free training it just wasn't for me. Either way though I think you'll be making a good decision.
