I was thinking of specialized welding, CNC operator, etc. Like, 12-18 months of hands-on training. I guess it could still be a scam, but I don't think transferability is an issue.

Some CNC machine manufacturers have on campus training workshops that would teach something transferable. If it's at a machine shop some will be and a lot won't be. Letting them sell it as training that needs to be paid back would be an absolute scam.

Some community colleges offer technical training, usually in partnership with a certificating body. But in this case the valuation is determined by a mostly independent body.
