>>2028616I'm pretty slow and clumsy with my hands (autist, ADHD), but I learn well from books. I did get into uoft. But for me I always feel like I need some more time and extra time and attempts at anything tactile and requiring hands on tinkering or fine motor use, like cooking for instance. I went into build a bike program knowing a bit more about bikes than everyone else there but I think I needed extra drop in hours to finish (although I was commuting into the program). There was the option to start in January but I want to be as prepared as possible going into this to account for how rusty I am and because I want to pass it in one go because it's actually quite the time suck. I've also never touched electronic groupsets or modern Shimano/SRAM/campy components in my life before, like this was all just refurbing old steel or aluminum beaters with trigger or down tube shifters, but since this is pretty employment I'm hoping I might get to play around with that stuff for the first time lol. I really want to end up with the skill to build complete bikes from the frame up.
>>2028638Here's the course information. I think it used to actually be paid training in the past, iirc. The two months I was referring to was me intending to just bounce around in co-ops or play around with the frames and bikes I've got at home and read up Sheldon Brown's website and torrented park tool school books in the interim
Thanks very much for the advice btw, I highly appreciate it and I hope you guys are having a good Christmas
