HELP! Stuck @ 240 EngineeringFollow

I have a lvl 60 gnome, his Gnomish Engineering is Maxed out at 240/240. I need to know what to do to be able to move my cap to 240/300. I have gone to the master trainers in Iron Forge, Booty Bay & Gadgetzan, none of them offer to train me to the next level. None of the trainers tell me where to go or what to do to increase my cap. I have asked in game and no one has been able to help me, they just suggest checking w/the IF, BB and Gadget trainers, which I have done a half a dozen times each. I am wondering if I am bugged. I am soooo frustraded w/this. I enjoy the humor on the these threads but I need some real help on this please.

Here are a couple of links you can take a look at:

http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Ebrt/wow/guides/skillupengineering.html

Here are a couple of items from the first link:

5.5 What are the different levels/ranks in the professions?

Rank (Min - Max Skills)
Apprentice (1-75)
Journeyman (50-150)
Expert (125-225)
Artisan (200-300)

Note that gnomes gain 15 skill in engineering as a racial bonus. As such, their maximum skill at each rank is increased by 15. (90, 165, 240, 315)

5.9 What's that racial level you just mentioned?

When you have both reached level 30 and have 200 engineering skill, you may choose to become either a Goblin engineer or a Gnomish engineer. One path excludes you from the other, and there is no way to change your mind once it's been made. This choice is done through a quest, so once the quest is done you cannot do it again to change your mind.

The quest starts in one of three places: Ironforge, Undercity, and also in Ratchet.
You will receive a book to read about the differences between the disciplines. After you've made your choice, you must visit the master for that path. The Master Gnome engineer is in Booty Bay.
The Master Goblin engineer is in Gadgetzan. These trainers will give you a task to complete to join that society. Note that you don't need to choose either, as it is not linked to learning artisan engineering at level 35 at all.

For Goblin engineering, you must provide him with 20 Big Iron Bombs, 20 Solid Dynamite, and 5 Explosive Sheep.
(Note! This is the number of items, not the number of "cycles" through the schematic. Pay attention to how many are made each time. I made WAY too many when I did this.)

For Gnomish engineering, you must provide 6 Mithril Tubes, 2 Advanced Target Dummies, and 1 Accurate Scope.

These trainers are NOT, I say again NOT the Master engineer needed to further your progression. Completing this quest does NOT raise your skill limit past 225. Choosing a path simply gives you access to special schematics while excluding you from the others.

5.12 I am ready to train in Journeyman/Expert/Artisan, who can train me?

You must find the engineer designated as the skill level above what you would like to learn. That is, to learn journeyman engineering you must train at the expert engineer. The journeyman is not skilled enough to teach you what he is still learning, and the artisan can't be bothered to teach someone with so little skill.

Engineering trainers are usually found in major cities.
Artisan engineers can be found in Orgrimmar and Ironforge.
The single master engineer (for all engineers) can be found in Gadgetzan in Tanaris. His name is Buzzek Bracketswing.

Dang i though both of us made it pretty dang clear





YES you just have to see the trainer.

I think the big confusion is the fact that it's 240 instead of the usual 225. I guess because of the gnome racial. I was scratching my head over this one too since I figured it was a level limitation (I'm now 40+ and it hasn't changed) and I assumed that learning Gnome engineering would automatically make me an artisan. Anyway glad to have this cleared up. :)
