    What the hell has happened to the 18th edition course

    I'm a retired teacher (electrical) and I'm not at all offended by this. A lot of the guys teaching in college that I've met are useless, one guy just said "read the book " and didn't teach at all

    Has anyone heard of Total Skills before?

    I don't know them but if Google 'distance learning electrical course" you will find a number of colleges to choose from.
