I went through a Ford-sponsored program called the ASSET program. It was an extremely thorough but rigorous course. We spent fifty hours a week in school, twenty five of those in the lab, then worked in the dealer a couple of months then repeated. I came out with most my Ford certs, able to pass the ASEs in one go, and one-up on the old timers who hadn't had all the updated training. The manufacturer sponsered programs are great because you have limitless access to techincal information and mentors in the dealership who teach you a lot. No matter what, go to school, the field gets more techical every year and you just can't learn it all on the street before you're thirty.
