my friend who started class a couple months ago said he didn't need to buy anything. well you still need to pay for part of your uniforms but i beleive that comes out of your check. they give you binders and everything. he said they are pretty nice binders, pen holders, and tabs, you know stuff like that. those binders may have been for the company manuels too. hopefully someone who has gone through recently will chime in for you.
