Well seeing how no one has taken the time to comment. I think I'll throw my 2 cents in. Currently only one automotive instructor has the talent to teach but not the resources to teach, the school doesn't provide enough for the teachers to teach correctly such as animated images to explain theory behind things like a transmissions parts and components.
No projects are over viewed in the shop check points on the paper work sheets are skipped. So most students dont even know what there doing. The school teaches you how to change parts and sometimes not correctly. Anyone can get into this school baby killers criminals who ever. And most of them dont do anything but copy each others work and some how manage to still get their degree. In the long run this screws all of the real people who put there heart into trying to make something of themselves. Because 80% of the employers around don't hire NCST grads. Its extremely hard to get a job with the reputation most ppl give the school. Now theres a lot wrong with some of the employees at the school as well. Lets take the schools Head of education Mr. Giovanelli or w/e his last name is. This is a guy who is head of the education but doesn't even know what goes on in the shops. Here's a little story (one day 2 new students got into a fight over a chair in the shop. The chairs were then removed and everyone had to always stand) See this created a problem in the shop a student was upset about there being no chairs to sit down and do work. So he went to Mr.Giovanelli to see if the school could put the chairs back. He said why do you have a lot of paper work? In my opinion you should be able to know how much work students do in there shops. Here what goes on in this school. If you have a surgery and are out for over 37.5 hours you are kicked out and made to pay the money for your quarter before you can come back to school. Because you student loans will be sent back since you are unable to finish the quarter. If you have any problems dont go asking the Itallian pricks for help. They will simply say they will review it or look into it. But really they dont care and never do anything. They will lie to your face rather then tell you the facts. This school doesnt care about its students its simply making a profit as their goal.
