I agree with Mike on this one. Seen alot of guys that went through the process and later figured that they spent over a thousand bucks and alot of hard earned time, without a clear idea of what they wanted to do with their license.
Have not heard anything bad about any of the schools. I went through Sea School and it was fine. The one in New London sounds interesting, you basically test after a each subject is covered. No "big" test at the end.
