[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 568832, member: 25383"] I did the apprenticship thing twice. Your best bet is to get into a job shop, and start an apprenticship. Schools are usually just good enough to let you know how to turn a machine on. A typical tool and die apprenticship will last four to five years, and require close to a thousand hours of schooling off site. I went thru an apprenticship to learn the machine building craft as well. It was much different, but yet paralled the machining trades. I'd be looking at places that do the BAT certified training. The others won't get you thru the door in a lot of places, unless you got ten years or more under your belt. I'm not a tool maker (thank God), but a machinest repairman That's what the department of labor classifies it anyway. I did the tool room thing right along side the T.&D. guys, but also expanded in other areas. Anyway I own two journeyman's cards, and never stopped learning. gary [/QUOTE]
