Look in CA&E, AS&S, CSR, Audio, etc. magazines. They should have ads for different install schools. Also, look in Parts Express - they should have instal training video series.

You could also try to get your foot in the door with Best Buy, Circuit City, Tweeter, etc. as a sales rep or junior installer.

Good luck

I went to Ritop. The school outside Boston. I learned alot more than I bargained for. As far as the other schools, I'm not sure. Ive heard positive and negatives about each. After you research the schools, I think Ritop is the best bet, plus its close to you. If you wanna ask detailed questions about Ritop,email me, and I can answer them for you. I 100% back the school. Can't go wrong learning in the oldest store in America, they must be doing something right.
