Default Westwood Or Lincoln College?

Let me explain my situation 1st:

I am a part owner/equal partner of a aftermarket auto and body repair speed shop,with 2 other friends and the only reason why i am still up here is because i cannot get the full value for my share of the business without risking to severely destabilize the business.I could GET only 40% of the real value now and maybe 1 day if they sell work things out to get a balance,but nothing more.
I do not work in the garage because i do not have sufficient qualifications for it unlike my friends whom have graduated from the excellent 2yrs automotive technician program out of Toronto and than went on to graduate from Ferris State University's automotive engineering technician program.They where just looking for a third party to invest and butt-out but not many people where willing to do that but i did .In '98 I got a 100k inheritance gift from my grand mother only to be awarded for a education or a LEGITIMATE business venture! When the criteria was met i got the check and invested with my buddies investments of 100k each and than got a loan for a extra 200k and BA-DA-BING...the rest is history.I receive a very nice check on the 30th of every month,that put on green on my face witch resembles the one on the green icon.
I have been managing a small FOREX outlet with 3 employees since 04 after i started there as a cashier in 98.
We are working things out,therefore soon this year i will be able to get full value for my share of the business also i will easaly get 600-800k for my DTWN condo loft witch as a private roof top sun deck with a superb view of the city and than i will relocate to Denver.
I plan to get the necessary training once there in order to able to open the same business but in Denver.I found 2 vocational institutions that give the training for the automotive technician program in the area,i MIGHT have to go to both of them in order to acquire the complete training necessary.
However my dilemma is that Lincoln College has a complete auto industry training program encompassing: Automotive technology,auto body repair and high performance Automotive technology,Westwood on the other hand has only the automotive technology program.
Since they both have the same AT program,I would love to know from someone whom as taken or know from someone who has taken the course witch of the 2 schools as the best AT program? sorry for writing my life story before getting to the question.
Thanks
