ITT Technical Institute

Here is why I am rating it so highly. I am a student here and I have noticed some less than favorable reviews for them. As an actual professional who is also a student I think I have a better perspective on this place. 1. My advisor was Mr. Mooney who was not only honest with me but, has continually assisted me with navigating enrollment and even personally showed me to my first class. 2. My teachers so far currently work in the fields they are teaching. 3. The class sizes really are small in one of my classes there is only 12 of us. I can email my instructor and get a response quickly. You can’t put a price on personalized schooling. This place is a great place to advance your career. They also teach helpful skills that apply directly to the real world which most schools don’t seem to do. The only complaints I’ve heard are from people who had unrealistic expectations. A college will not find you a job they will however open the door, but you have to walk through it, night classes take place at night and your schedule is available roughly a month prior to start to allow you to properly plan, like most things in life you get what you put in. As a 25 year old trying to further my position in the corporate world I couldn’t be happier here.

I’m writing this, not from a student’s perspective, but as someone who applied for a position there.
I think that it deserves three stars for what it is – a place of learning, basically a career college, where people can get real-​world skills to fall easily into their career of choice.
However, in order to obtain those skills properly, they need educators who know their stuff. Here’s where my lower rating comes in.
I was interested in teaching subject X. It was filled, so the person that I spoke with asked if I had experience teaching subject Y. I informed them that I knew nothing about subject Y, but I appreciated the offer. It should have been done there. Instead, this person tried to urge me to teach it anyway, knowing that I knew nothing about it.
Hello! What? And, there that is. It was disheartening.
