former student
This school is a joke. I attended and completed the electrical program. I learned very little. half the instructers were former students with little or no exprience. if you are looking for something to pass time...go for it. if you are looking for a job after wards...join a union or some type of apprentince program. dont waste your time or money on this school. most of their learning aids are either old or broken. motor control was a disappointment...i shared a board with two other students. hands on was little. at one point i had three different instructors in one quarter. the class ahead of me had a different instructor almost every week, sometimes everyday, for a full quater. JOIN A UNION INSTEAD OR LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT SCHOOL. THIS ONE IS A JOKE.
