Not much other than internet schools in your area, but there may be some in Windsor. Look around on this link.

I would imagine that you would get something out of the online school.I think that you would however, get what you paid for.I always wondered whose bikes are they working on.And then, I ask myself, would I let them work on mine if I needed it.
