Hi Tim--

Welcome to the forums. You'll have an advantage as an A&P. Access to an airplane is great, too! Let me know if you have any questions along the way.

well there is one i have heard from others that the dallas location is the best but it would be better for me to use the houston location my wife just wants to be close but i think i could get by with being in dallas she understands what this means to me i just want to make her happy as best i can

what do you think of the houston location as compaird to the other locations?

I trained in Riverside, and then taught in Atlanta and Las Vegas. So I have never heard that Dallas is the best location (and believed it).

The training is standardized, so you will get similar instruction wherever you go. The planes are constantly being swapped amongst locations so the equipment is the same. Dallas is a larger location and also a maintenance facility, if I recall correctly. Go tour them both--some people like a smaller location and others like a larger. You can't go wrong with either.
