Has anyone heard about these self-paced HVAC, carpentry, electrical, and construction courses with certificates? Supposedly they're free. Is it worth it to attend to learn more about DIY?
For those of you that have certifications or degrees, how long did you go to school?

Are the certs worth anything? Are the accredited by anybody?Somewhat related, I did SkillCat for my EPA certification, and their HVAC, electrical, and plumbing courses. For $10/mo, I actually recommend it if you want a little extra knowledge. It’s not really a trade school degree, but it counts as continuing education and is accredited and I actually rolled that into some NATE certifications. So like 200hrs of online work and I had half a dozen certifications to put on my resumé and it cost me like $100.

>how long did you go to school
i had to go to school for 3,5 years to become a certified industrial electrician
after that it usually takes people 1-4 years of work to be able to do shit on their own
doing household wiring requires less insight in elektronics but there is still alot of stuff you can fuck up and shouldn't be done by amateurst b h i would not even trust you to change a fuse if you told me you got your degree from some home depot
