I'm also not buying the "it will be faster argument" I have had many students get heir plastic in less than 45 days, the fastest was 28 days. So if it is gonna be faster I suppose instantly would be in order. All rolled prints, paper app, paper affidavits, just good old know how. Do it right the first time.

Longtooth,

That's good to hear. I hope it is the same case here. I guess the idea of helping them online during the class would work, but where I teach, it would require me buying wireless service from Sprint or someone. I also think that would take longer than explaining the paper application. We don't fill it out entirely, I just explain the problem areas where people screw up.

I guess my real concern is that it is hard enough to get people into a class even when they have signed up. Maybe it is our area. Like yesterday, 14 were signed up 10 showed. 10 had prepaid, 4 only had a deposit down. 2 that paid in full and two that paid a deposit didn't show. ?????????????? People must have more money to waste than me.

I can understand going digital to a point, however I have the equipment and have a lady from county come take the prints and we have not had a single applicant get their prints kicked back. So I only see this as another hassle for an applicant.

If a student doesn't apply online, and they schedule with L-1, how do they get their prints linked to their paper application ? Many of my students either don't have internet access or are going to have a hard time getting the app done on line, so I will still need to help them with the paper app.

I hope this works as smoothly as everyone thinks. As far as pricing, I'll have to see what the competition does. When I started, I was the highest priced in town, then I came down to match the next highest, and we are at $125. I don't see why some leave so much on the table. I know a couple old guys here that only charge $50 of course like they say, you get what you pay for.
