Maybe you can get them to send you to some of the manufacturer training sessions. I know that some LDS are really cheap when it comes to paying for training. Another option would be to pay for the training yourself, assuming that you can cut a deal on piece work (they pay you $10-20 for every reg that you service for the LDS). Check with some of the other LDS service techs. They may be aware of training opportunities in your area. JM2c
You think they would fire me for being honest? Well, actually they would. If they did it would probably do me a favor. I can't afford to keep this job..it's costing me a ton of money in courses and time away from my real professions.

My co-workers (many of them feel the same way I do), buy from ScubaToys or LP as a matter of fact. They just try to get the same style or brand that we sell in the shop to give the illusion of support.

I have another post about who should pay for technician course....the shop wants me to pay the full bill, but then won't discuss how I will be paid after completing the course. Based on how I've seen the shop run so far I'm betting they would only want to pay me my hourly wage and thus save themselves $$$ while cutting me out of potential commission.
