I attended Mazzei in 2006 and also worked there for a short period before moving to the East coast and I have to say, Jim Brannan runs a tip top operation. He's a 35 year instructor who is genuinely interested in passing on all his experience to the students and instructors who work there. He has weekly lunch meetings with his instructors and pick random topics to "freshen" us up on. He always kept us on our toes, which I felt pushed me to always do better.
I worked at 4 other schools on the East coast since leaving Mazzei, and none of them even came close to the level of professionalism Mazzei oozes. If you do decide to go there, you'll be happy with your decision. If you're speaking to Gerry, their sales guy, take what he says with a grain of salt. He's exactly that, a sales guy. He's not a bad dude, he's just likes to talk a lot!! Go directly to the school and speak to Jim, the instructors, and the students to get their opinions.
I now work with a guy that attended Hillsboro and he had good things to say about it also.
