Would this gunsmithing program (2 years) be worthwhile?

I should mention that I would be doing it as more of a hobby/part time work if anything.

In terms of "worthwhile" I am looking to see if the school has a good reputation & such, not a waste of time/money or anything, ie: if there was a better school not too far away or something.

Yes they have a very good rep ... they have one of the best hand engraving courses of any gunsmithing school as well.

The 2 year course is a AA degree level course normally for those that want to work in the industry ...... and trust me firearm companies are picking up graduates faster than the colleges can turn them out.

Have you considered the program out of Lassen community college?

Here are some of the NRA gunsmithing classes they are hosting this summer.
