Ask what the training qualifies you to do

Ask about current jobs and training places
Ask whether there is a paid job now, a training program to apply to, or only a list for future applicants. Check starting pay, work hours, tools, travel, benefits, how they choose applicants, and what happens if the job or training ends early, or if you leave early. A route may still exist. This page does not confirm a license, a training place, a job, or a certificate.
