I've sent you an e-mail.

I was speaking in general. You were not the only one that posted in response to the original poster. So, you really shouldn't take everything I posted so personally. SOME things said were rude. SOME things were said in an attacking manner. Not all was posted by you. Not everything said was rude. I just feel when you are giving advice and you want the best outcome, you really have to be careful in the way you say things. You (in general) can't be your normal blunt self in certain situations. Some will take offense to it and NOT get the message. This poster might not have taken offense. I haven't heard anything else from this poster, so maybe she was ok with what was said. Therefore, I have nothing else to say about it either. I simply made a "general" observation, added my 2 cents, and responded to what you said about me.

When you start talking about "we have been here longer, therefore we know more," then I respond the way I did in my second post. You don't know how long I have been coming to this site. I have been coming here for years. I only posted recently.

To answer your question, I pasted PattyB's comment below.

P.S. I'm the one who originally lumped VLC in with Andrews and M-TEC. I only included them because I've visited their website and thought their course sounded thorough. It's got to be better than AHP and all the other matchbook cover courses though.

I too have visited VLC's website and although I don't believe it's "up there" with Andrews and M-Tec, it offers more than AHP, PCDI or Education Direct...and certainly, I would never recommend less than the Professional version of that course.

So, if I am wrong, please let me know, but do you personally know that VLC produces the same category of students as Andrews and M-Tec. I do not believe this is true.

I don't believe I was even suggesting this. I was merely expressing an OPINION and encouraging students to compare various courses, schools and websites and make a wise choice based on that information...The More You Know

P.S. No, I did not go to VLC. I got my MT education OTJ back in the 90s.
