"At first, it’s daunting to see all the different types of equipment on the shelves and the boxes and rows of circuit boards and other parts. You think to yourself, “How on earth am I supposed to know what everything is supposed to do? Then you start to work in classes-get the terms down- and then they give you the same type of problems to fix. That way, you are practically using the knowledge as soon as you leave the classroom."

"I signed up for the CABT class as soon as they were available. It’s a lot of the same concepts and methodology [as a mechanic]. The IT Management is something I didn’t have, so that’s been challenging, but everything else is similar to what I was doing as far as working on equipment and keeping it up and running."
-Josh
"I’ve been working with another medical company for five years, with them I got to see the outside of the industry like the sales. Now, I feel like I have a far more precise understanding of what happens on the inside."
