cool, i haven't heard of that course, but i am in England so aint likely to hear of it. My course is 3 years, only about 18 weeks in the college though, with the option of another 1 or 2 years (i forget how many) to get a degree in an engineering field of my choice. And the pay should go up a fair amount.
