My husband just recently started going to WyoTech in West Sacramento California. At first we thought it was a wonderful idea because working whith his hands is what he loves to do. He had the 3 major programs to choose from and he chose electrical because the admissions counsler(Sales Rep.) told us that the electrical field was "booming" and thats why they added that program. So we trusted her and what she was telling us. But we soon found out that what she said was a lie. 1st- During schooling they will help you find a job. 2nd- the ratio between hands on training and book work is about 60:40. 3Rd- After school is over they have "connections" with employers and they can get him into a job. We found out that helping to find a job means posting a paper with job opening in Sacramento, we live in Woodland. He is in his second modual and so far they have done no hands on work. And like I said, their idea of job placement is looking on simplyhired.com and refering all the students to the same place. That seems fair, but "job placement assistance" seems like it would be a little bit more then looking on simplyhired.com. Also, their admissions test consists of basic arithmatic and grammer. My husband is currently doing triganomatry. I find this incredibly hard to belive. I have all the faith in the world in him and I do belive that he can do it, but I go to a REAL liberal arts accredited university, and he is doing more book work then I am. WHERE DOES ALL THE "HANDS ON" WORK COME INTO PLAY? I think there is something going on here and I don't appreciate being lied to by WyoTech. I'm concerned about their real motives. To make matters worse, my husband and I recently went onto Caljobs.ca.gov as well as craigslist.com and Yahoo Hot Jobs to see if anybody is hiring for electrictians in Woodland or Sacramento, we found none. Another thing is the car pooling. The sales rep. sold the car pool idea as if there were tons of people comming from everywhere and carpooling was available to everybody; however, when he looked for somebody to car pool with he realized that there is nobody going to WyoTech in our area at the same time. Car pooling isn't absolutly necessary for him but it would have been nice.
Another thing that I noticed is how scantly clad the sales reps dress. The women at least. I noticed this when we went to visit the school. Most of the sales reps. were young hot women with cleavage and high heels on. I don't think people would see this and think anything of it, but think about it, WyoTech, in West Sacramento, is mostly marketing to young me. Their programs consist of cars, cars, and electrician. Is this a coincidece or a stratigic marketing ploy??

WyoTech claims to help you find a job after you graduate, this is not true. I graduated from the Daytona, FL campus and recieved no help in finding a job close to my home town. They called me with one job opening about 1000 miles from home, but how was i too even consider moving there when i had no income what so ever? Its not like a young person with limited savings can make that move. I graduated in 2008, soon after graduation I found the total amount for the loans (this is how you spell "lone" Mike G) was 43,000 dollars (not including intrest) and the total monthly payment is 1000 dollars! Long story short you can spend the same kind of money over the course of 4 years (rather than 9 months) at a university and get a degree! Thanks so much Wyo Tech for screwing me big time and keeping me from qualifying for a mortgage! I have taken this time to write this review because i can not afford these debts and i regret this deeply!

Just judging by some of the poor reviewers, I am wondering if it was the school or the student that was the problem. I know many WyoTech Grads who are incredibly well to do now. Like anything in life, you only get out of it what you put into it. If you go too the school expecting them to transfuse the knowledge into you, it won't work out. If, on the other hand, you work hard and try, you'll become one of their many success stories!!!

i attened wyotech in 2009, i had exceptional grades and near perfect attendance, the truth of the matter is they train you to be an apprentice because its impossible to become proficient in 9 months, therefore you have to get hired by a company that is willing to train you under a technician and work with you for some time until you learn all aspects of teh job, however with todays economy companies cannot afford to work with technicians on the skill levels wyotech presents and are only hiring experienced technicians, it is almost impossible to perfrom up to speed in the workforce today with just an education from Wyotech. i was certified in many aspects of collision technology that i had never done or even had a full understanding of, therefore when companies reviewed my resume they saw a lot of things that were false. i do not recommend attending wyotech to anybody who does not already have experience in the automotive field

i went to wyotech wuth knowledge of the school now this was back in 2004 that i started it was the first class on the new campus and the new owners corinthian colleges? I remember going in the first day the youngest kid there at 18! they just went to it. I didn't think i was going to make it but i learned alot it was tough and at the end i didn't like the direction it was going because of the teachers and staff (few were there to help but the ones who did are worth their weight in gold) I brought the bmw step program to the sacramento campus i had to explain the the career service people how to get in contact with them i was excepted and went through their program and got a job and became a master tech for bmw at the age of 20 so in the end it worked out only to a fault of my own am i no longer in the automotive field but wyotech was the step i took looking back it was a waste of money but it could have been a great experince had the right people had been there. I still owe what i had to them so maybe it was worth it.

michael-- i just graduated from wyotech last month and sooo far cant get a job. the school has its ups and downs but overall it was the rite thing to do even though im jobless at this time the school is helping me find one. it is expensive but if your willing to take out a lone i think you mite like your experience. and yes you are treated like kids they treat you like a boss dose in the field so if you cant follow directions then dont go. other wise if you can you can learn a lot.

matthew H. is correct. Wyotech in Long Beach, CA (Electrical program) is too much money.
After you get into the program, you find out they have very little budget for lab supplies. So, alot of the equipment in the labs is junk.Was this review useful to you?

I graduated wyotech on 12-19-08. As for as I'm concerned it was a waste of time and money. I learned some things but it was not even close to worth the money or hassle. It's nothing but a bunch of built up hype. All lies and ALOT of money. They don't do anything for you. They treat you like kids. Do alot of research before you decide on going. Make sure you know exactly what your getting into. DON'T GO TO WYOTECH!!!s
