I am currently enrolled and participating at RETS Technical Center in the electrician program. Myself and the rest of the class ,as well as the students in the other classes feel this school is at the bottom of barrel as far as what you might expect to get out of a program. Do yourself a favor and look at other places to get your education. At RETS, the instructors are fairly good, some better than others like any place. But the school it’s self is extremely poor from the management to the hands on. The good instructors are so fed up with the management, that they are leaving. The hands on part of the program is disgusting and I will be filing a complaint with the State about it. But do yourself a favor and look else where.
