WyoTech Reviews

My son atttended Wyotech Blairsville campus and although he did really well in the program, upon graduating there were not any jobs available to him in our area which is east of Columbus. None of the automotive dealerships had heard of Wyotech and therefore were not willing to even give him a chance. A small repair shop owner finally offered him a job, but upon learning that he had very little hands on experience, did not keep him over a month. The school I feel was misleading in stating they had a 90% placement rate for students who are in the top 10% of their class as my son was and he was not "PLACED" in a job. The cost of the school is outrageous for the what he was taught and the way he was taught. Now he is stuck with a $30,000 school loan and a full time job as a salesman simply from the misleadings we received from the school recruiter and the representatives at Wyotech. I would not recommend going to this school at least not the Blairsville campus.

Wyotech does accept the Post 9/11 Gi Bill and BAH in Fremont Ca is $2133.00. I changed my class schedule from nights to days and it was a day and night difference. The teachers are energetic, eager to teach, bright eyed and bushy tailed and the students actually like waking up in the morning to go to school. The biggest problem is getting to starbucks in the morning and finding enough time to enjoy the neighborhood restaurant. The atmosphere is very professional, somewhat formal and very disciplined. I am a Commercial HVAC student and Fremont is the only campus that offers this major.

They accept the Post 9/11 Gi Bill. BAH in Fremont is $1914.00. I have caught Career Service in a couple of lies, they are rarely available and do not return phone calls. The student body is terrible. I doubt I will be able to do service work after graduating, however, do think that I would make for a good apprentice or helper. I looked odd going to school with a bunch of kids so I opted for trade school and it was a bad decision. My Commercial HVAC diploma cost $27,500 and I'll probably end up working for CR England. Community College and a State College is way better than this

I attended the wyotech in West Sacramento. I graduated in March of 2010. In my opinion the staff there (with a few exceptions) were completly a waste of time and money. Out of the 8 teachers i had only 4 of them actually spent time 1 on 1 with the students and helped them understand the material. the books were outdated, the classes were so over packed. i remember i had 58 students in my Drivetrain class only 26 of them actually passed. Also I was told that after completing the Light duty Diesel class that i could continue my diesel education at one of the other 2 locations that provided the Advanced Diesel program. WELL THAT WAS A LIE. I called the Wyoming location and it turns out that I would have to Take a whole other Core diesel class before i could get into the Advanced Diesel program. so that would be another $25,000 plus another $12,000 for the advanced diesel class. so all together i would be about $85,000 in student loans to complete the training i wanted. And career services? THEY ARE A FUCKING JOKE. They sent me 4 job leads which 3 of them i had already found on Career Builder . com . So they do NOthing to actually help the students. I have done more on my own than they have offered to help. and they said that they would help you no matter when you graduated is a lie. I had to pretty much beg them for the few leads that i got. and another thing. Most employers outside of where the campus' are located have Never even heard of wyotech. so they mean nothing.

I am a current student @ wyotech in Daytona Beach. The only complaints I have is the cost of tuition is extremely high for what yuo get. What students dont understand is that this school only prepares you for a career in the motorcycle industry, you will still be required to seek training once you have been hired at a dealership, that goes for any field!
My second complaint is the fact that they will take anybody as a student , they should have a testing procedure to weed out those who cant grasp common sense and are a potential danger to other students. It seams that atleast 25% of the student body is on parole or probation, which they bring this mentality in to the school

I went to Wyotech a few years back. I took the HVAC classes. At that time the automotive department was a good program (from what I heard), but the HVAC classes were not even worth the money. There were some good instructors, but others that didn't even know the subject that they were teaching. Some of the classes had a 5th grade environment in where the instructor did not even have control of the classroom. Another class had six different instructors replacing each other ( in a six week period). Another class had a new instructor who substituted other classes other than his own and he didn't have a clue of the subject. I was paying over $20 an hour, for what? The air conditioning training equipment was so beat up-it took half the time to get equipment and figure out what condition the last class left the unit in, so it could be worked on properly.-- it did not translate to preparing one to be ready in the field. When I asked one of the instructors about this he said "the hands on here is just to give you a basic idea of what's going on-- you will have to learn in the field"--essentially, you are not trained to work in the field. At that time there were many complaints, and Corinthian eventually made some changes in the higher faculty, it needed a house cleaning. I don't know how it is now, but I can tell you it is a business more than a school. I got mostly A's and some B's and would not at all recommend the return of education for the money spent. Go somewhere else!!!
