How can I find out about reputation?

[WarpedMind]

Hi. First time poster... Is there a place I can go to find out the reputations of instructors and schools? I'm in Orlando, but willing to go to the east coast (I used to live in Indialantic, Melbourne, and Satellite Beach). Is there a good school anywhere around that I'd kick myself for not starting out with?

There are a number on both the east and west coasts in the vicinity of Orlando. If you do a key word search for "Orlando" on this site you find some names. Interview your instructor prospects. Some ideas for questions to ask appear at:
