Triangle Tech review: Rip off 2

I attended Triangle Tech's RHVAC program in Greensburg, PA. To anyone thinking about attending this school: DON'T! It is a scam, plain and simple. They recruit students with all sorts of empty promises, just like all the other "trade" schools, then once they have your money, they couldn't care less. They also advertise "lifetime job placement", which is a huge joke. They ask you to supply them with copies of your resume, then claim they sent them to all of their "contacts"... in reality, they probably put them in the "round file" because you don't get one phone call.

The instructors are a joke as well. One spent half the class talking about getting drunk, and the other half outside smoking. Another was leaving after he finished with our class group, so he basically adopted an "I don't give a crap if you learn anything" attitude, and spent the nights outside BS'ing with the students he was supposed to be teaching. What little I did learn, I mostly taught myself.

As with most trade schools, the tuition is outrageously high and the credits don't transfer ANYWHERE. It cost me $12, 000 to get a DIPLOMA (not even a degree) in RHVAC and so far it's proven worthless. HVAC companies don't care about schooling; they're more interested in experience and if you don't have it, you're not getting a job... unless you want to do grunt work for minimum wage. The point is... don't waste your time and money on this scam. Someone needs to start a class-action lawsuit against this outfit and expose them for what they are- SCAM ARTISTS.
