Have you looked into Apex Technical in Manhattan? I went through their automotive program and was able to get into the Mercedes Benz ELITE Program through them. If I remember correctly, they also offered Welding and HVAC, but I could be wrong.

[TEST MY 6]

A friend of mine went from working in a machiene shop to doing HVAC with no experience , 5 Years later and he's the crew manager for the same company, My point is that even without experience you can get a job doing that and work your way up as long as you show interest in learning and progressing in the field.

TCI is a waste of time and money. you will learn more faster and cheaper on the job with a good attitude and desire to learn.
