I just Graduated a few months back you should really think twice before getting enrolled in this school they feed you all lies... And its not a cheap school so once your in you have a month to decided weather or not your gonna stay... They claim they gonna help you find a job after graduation not necessarily they find you an intern with a possibility of getting hired... They have great teachers and program in the Auto-Body Dept... Im now serving in the US Army and if there was anything i ever regretted in life it would be going to BARAN...

I went to Baran for welding in 2006-07 and I loved the program. I was treated fairly, kindly and respectfully. I would recommend it for any man or woman! It was a great experience and it gave me wonderful opportunities. I raised my pay rate $13.00 in just two years. If you play your cards right and really learn from the instructors you can take this skill anywhere in the country. As I have! Thanks Welding DEPT!!!!

My son is in his last mod in welding at Baran. It's been a tough go given some personal issues he has gone through during the last year. The staff at Baran has been so understanding in working with my son, and with me making it possible for him to complete this program. Many times he wanted to give up, but the people there - security, dorm personnel, those in finance, administrators and teachers, all pulled together to give him the best training possible. One person in particularFrank, was instumental in bonding with my son, and help.ing me, and without his support,my son would have given up a long time ago. We have nothing but positive things to say. I would reccommend Baran to any parent whose child is looking for a career but not academically inclined. I can't thank you enough for building his self esteem and giving him a future and a reason to believe in himself. Now if we can just make it to graduation.............
