FIRST-RATE FACILITY
TOOLS
Our graduates
report a 99% satisfaction rating
with the selection and condition of our tools.
BBI has invested the money to equip every bench with a full selection of
the most expensive tools, such as milling tools, frame and fork alignment tools,
specialized suspension tools, tension meters, digital calipers, and multiple torque
wrenches.
More importantly, BBI has an extremely close relationship with major tool
manufacturers, and regularly consults with these manufacturers during their development of
prototypes. Our students get a discount on tool purchases from United Bicycle Tool
company.
BIKES
Our graduates
report a 94% satisfaction rating
with the bikes and lab materials used in class.
Here at BBI we have a huge fleet of bicycles
(with the latest equipment), partial bicycles, and wheels devoted solely to use in the
classroom. Each workstation is equipped with a mountain bike, a road
bike, and a touring bike, as well as numerous other individual
components. All of the bicycles are used exclusively for classroom
purposes, with equipment selected and set up for the sole purpose of
optimizing your learning. While instructors give lectures and
demonstrations, other staff members are making sure the equipment is
precisely prepared for the next lab, thereby allowing the students to
focus purely on the newly-learned technique during the lab. If our bikes
were used for non-class purposes, then our focus would be on keeping the
bike ready to ride or sell, rather than of maximizing your learning
experience.
UNEQUALED WRITTEN MATERIALS
Our graduates report a 96% satisfaction rating
with the printed materials received as part
of the class.
BBI uses the more than 1000 page Barnett’s Manual
and the greatly expanded Barnett's
Manual DX CD in class so that the student never needs to take notes and always leaves
with even more information than was covered in class. We believe that if
you are focused on writing notes, you are less focused on watching and
learning what the instructor is teaching. Our philosophy is that if it
is worth teaching, it is worth providing to you in writing. In addition
to the Barnett's Manual, depending on the class, other materials add up
to another 500 pages to the written materials each student receives. We
challenge you to find another school that comes anywhere close to us
with the written materials they provide. |
