Pick the credential path that pays you back.
Every tier is designed around a different career move: get certified, stack credentials, or become the inspector companies call when the work gets serious.
The cheapest training is not always the lowest price.
The better question is simple: which path gets a motivated technician ready faster, with fewer wrong turns, fewer retakes, and a clearer next credential?
