well, i guess you people should have payed attention. these collages do not expand on hopes and dreams. if they were such shitty collages; they would not have 30 some odd schools. i have 2 family members that are very very successful Auto machanics that attended NADC my "step" father is one of them. he now owns and runs two Napa stores in washington, and ownes a large auto repair shop in Seattle WA. we race his 1966 Elcamino 396, with his 197o Chevelle SS 427, head to head all the time, its fun because he has the knowlage to restore vehicles, rebuild engines and chassis. he started out like every other teen aged Gear head who just didnt have the money to tinker and wanted more experiance. look at him now.
If a student does not take his edducation seriously, then the school is not going to take that individual any more serious. if you have a goal and actualy WANT to learn more and be successful, its not cheep, its not easy, and you have to earn it. i guess maybe "EARNING" something is new and perhaps hard for some of you rich, spoiled people to deal with. Me? well i turn 17 in april everything i have earned everything i have. my truck, my car, my savings, you know what my perants and grand perants have given me? nothing they have nothing to give me. they didnt have the greatest luck in life. they root me on, thats all they can do. i am looking hard at going to the same collage. i want a seccessful life, i am serious about my edducation, and i am not afraid to use a little elbow greece and earn somthing. now after reading this if you as you say had a so called 3.8 GPA and cant get a job at Mcdonalds, or the Cozy corner motel. then i would say that you have somthing else wrong with you. have a great day. |

I am currently attending lincold in east windsor, ct. I was attending baron, a great school, when they suddenly said, "hey, lincoln just bought us. You're no longer baron." Since then, they didn't register with the local napa righ away, even though the switch took several months, and when the takeover happened in january the school lost parts service. they had wait a while for simple plastigauge for engine rebuilding. Baran as always maintaned a 15/1 or 20/1 student/teacher ratio. The last class was 67 students with one teacher. they finally hired someone off the street to take half his class after a week. He then put the students under a tractor trailer truck that had it's rear raised by a jack without any jack stands. All because the school didn't have time to teach him the proper way to do things. There has also been complaints from the students in the class that he won't explain anything and has very little knowledge. They are also now requiring students taking diesel to take 3 months of automotive at their school first. And they want to switch from 40% class, 60% shop time to only 40%shop and 60% class instead. Cutting back on hands on. Our last class is always a week short. Because lincoln messed up on scheduling because no one knows anything in managment, we are now getting a shortened brakes class. Suppose be certain other classes that have the time to spare to miss a week. In electronic fuel systems 2 we're doing extra stuff because it was normally the 4 week class, and instead is the 5 week class. The reason the last week is short is we do an one week intern the last week.
all and all, i'd say the original teachers are good, but if they keep hiring people off the street and don't send them through the regular training program they normally do, and keep flooding classes, and they keep taking away more hands on time, they won't be much of a school!! |

| My son is also at Lincoln Tech in East Windsor CT right now, taking Automotive Technology. He's only been there 4 weeks and already feels like he has been scammed, from the classes right down to the meal plan. If things don't change we will be looking at going and getting him and bringing him home. |
|
|
| Also, when you go to lincoln, they charge you aproximitly $10 a meal, but only allow you to purchase $8 per meal swipe. and If you decide eat at the dorm buffet, and pay cash, its $9 or 1 meal swipe. nothing seams fit together right. And then they tell you that you can only get 4 soda's per swipe, which are normally 1.50 (was 1.25 originally). Then if you try to get something extra with the 4 soda's they tell you you can't. They screw you all way around and if you can, you need to get out if your there!!! |

| I go to the one in Indianapolis and I've learned a lot in the past 2 months that I've been there. If you're not learning anything then its your own fault. The instructors at the one I go to are amazing. |

| My son is planning on going to Lincoln Tech in Indianapolis after he graduates in 2012. I sure hope that the negative I am reading on this site is just a bunch of BS! He is so excited about going there. But, I guess, by reading these comments, I will have some questions to asked when we decide to drive down and check out the place. |

| Lincoln Tech isnt any good. They have totally messed up all the way around. Since they have taken over in January, they have messed up alot of things for their students and most of all their employees for the Suffield, CT campus. Their safety staff their is underpaid and understaffed by a long shot. There is no shift differential and they treat their saftey staff like crap. An employee that has been there for more than 4 yrs got only a 55 cents and some only got a 5 or 10 cents raise after not having a raise for well over 4 yrs or how ever long they had been there and this is fair after all the safety staff does this is how they repay them. They also allow there employees to have a sexual and physical relationship. Isn't that why they have a sexual harrassment law to prevent this kind of stuff from happening in the work place. But not Lincoln Tech they dont care what they do as employees as long as the relationship isnt with the students. They have ruined a family because of this. They also spend to much money on unnecessary things as well. Please dont send your kids there it would be the biggest mistake if you do. They are only after your money. |

| Considering what people have been saying, Im open to the possibility that it just depends on which location you go to. Personally, I went to their culinary program in Columbia, MD. I attended for 6 months which was when I'd had enough. They tell you in the beginning that you can take the first class and if you decide to leave, they don't charge you for tuition. So of course in the first class they're going to make it seem like you're learning something, and I'm not the only one to say so. Everyone in my class took and continue to take their education seriously. It's not their fault that they're bearly getting an education. I deeply regret enrolling in this school. In one of my classes we were doing our practical final, we had to present a charcuterie platter and on the day of, we had only one of the ingredients needed to complete that task. One of my classmates actually had to go and buy us groceries so that we could do so. When I spoke to the dean of the culinary side, she asked me "What made you think it was my obligation to make sure you had those igredients?" not verbatim, but that was her point. Excuse me? My tuition is $20, 000 and you're telling me we're not entitled to certain ingredients pertaining to our education? I'm very angry at this situation and I really wish there was something I or anyone could do about it. No one at that school cares about anyones education, just money. |

| I attended to Lincoln Tech in Lowell MA. Personally I think this school is a scam. They have this commercial like its image as in example of all training school but its not. Now I have to pay $17, 000 for this school. Im in my externship that I have to take three buses to go and come. I also told the externship coordinator to put me closer to where I live and I gave her two months notice and she told me I never told her that. I told her that im going to be getting home at 6 or 6:30 all she said was that we all have to sacriface. I wanted to tell her off. She didn't have to wait out side for 20 minutes or a half an hour when its 20 degrees. Today I waited in hour. She lied to me shge said there was no place closer. But she was a dumbass for putting me close to where my friend lived down the street and my friend 5 miles to where I live! I DO NOT RECOMMEND NOBODY FOR THIS SCHOOL! |

| im attending the one in florida and i came to this website just so i can print all of these complaints. Its all about money. Six staff members were fired and three weeks later they srewed up the loans and people were owing more money bvefore you graduate. They hold back information and you have to figure out what you need to ask. I feel like im in the army, "Don't ask Don't tell" im figuring out away to get out of this school without owing anything but they're a bunch of legal criminals if you ask me. |

I went right out of school since I to had a love for cars, they teach you theory but the hands on is what it is about. I would recommend anybody thinking about going to school to learn automotive to first see about learning it on the outside first. Anyone can get a job at a dealership and they will train you and start you off changing oil and also will send you to school on there vehicles and even pay you. I have another easy way, buy a beater old car. Sometimes you can get one free then go into it. Tear it down and learn hands on. I would be happy to help you with any questions you may have.

| Lincoln Technical Institute is a RIP OFF. My son was at the campus in East Windsor Connecticut for exactly one month and came home. Everything from the classes to the meal plan was a scam and now they are trying to charge him over $10, 000.oo for one month. Most of the time in class he had nothing to do and when he asked the instructor for something to do he just stared at him. There wasn't enough equipment for them to work on, only 3 lifts for 30 students and it is suppose to be hands on. The dorm rooms weren't much bigger than a walk-in closet for two students and the food wasn't fit to eat, dried out pasta and pizza and under cooked chicken. Don't even think about going there it will be nothing but a big costly mistake. |

| I am currently attending lincoln in Indianapolis and its has been the biggest mistake i have ever made junk ass equipment over crowded classes and not enough materials to learn anything teachers give you just enough information on stuff to make a person dangerous i have been a service tech for 5 years and came here to learn diesel and havent learn a dam thing useful on how to work on one and was also suppost to have management classes the last three moths of my time here after i finished my shop classes and they tossed me in to it after only 6 months the teachers dont teach you a dam thing about management just gives a bunch of busy work that has nothing to do with the class your in. FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT GOIN TO THIS SCHOOL DONT DO IT ITS BULLSHIT AND A WAST OF TIME AND MONEY. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BLOW 30, 000 DOLLARS AND HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT START A FIRE AND TOSS THE MONEY IN IT AND WATCH IT BURN ITS THE SAME THING AS GOIN TO THIS SCHOOL!!! |
