The advantage of coop is that it's similar to real hands on experience that you would get... I've only recently heard of someone who could do it online because of their location. I would imagine the online course would require paying extra for the TSSA practical skills (hands on) test to be performed with the TSSA guy. That adds to the cost for his time and the fact you can easily fail if you're not that much of a hands on guy and have no real experience.

The regular in class G3 is extremely similar to the coop. It's still all the same required hours, it's just the class time is compressed with the coop and there's more hands on experience by the fact you alternate your in class week with the coop placement to work in the field.

The online is your absolute last resort. Both the regular inclass G3 and coop G3 have you do the practical tests as part of the course and the only major test is the TSSA written test in the end.
