I received all certificates offered, plus was one of only 2 females in class, which all staff told me was a shoe in for a job. I watched my lead instructor get fired, plus 3 other personnel get fired in my 6 months there. I also went on 13 interviews. All potential employers said they would prefer if I had a degree. Not certificates. Also, going into job field with no experience and only 6 months training is a huge negative. In all my interviews, they said they were going with someone with more experience. Of my 22 classmates, I only know of three who got jobs in IT. One of whom, was hired by PC pro as an assistant instructor. I am not plCing all blame on PC pro though, I was easily swayed by the promise of a career. But I will say that I remained in contact with former instructor and this person has told me that school is just trying to make money and that this person was very frustrated because he/she tried to help students in a losing situation.

WCH, there must be a reason why it was expanded to ten months. hmmm... Maybe they feel that the extra four months allow them to better prepare their students for the workforce. Tho I can't see why that would be necessary. All of their students are incredibly successful with only six months training. Ask them. Its their selling point.

Could it really be that people aren't willing to hire someone who only had six months training? I believe so, cuz it didn't help me. And to be more acurate, I went during the day, not nights, and I had my MCSA in only four months. Top student. Never failed an exam. First in line to receive no results or benefit for my money.

I am really glad that I thought to research this place before I did anything. I went for the informational seminar, and already they were having me do a free school application, and by the end of the night the PC Pro Director in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was already telling me that I have 24-48 hours to sign so I could get the financial aid she told me about. THOSE WERE RED FLAGS! Also they made it seem like the seminar that I was going to attend would be full. When I got there they had seven chairs, and I was the only one there. Thats the first red flag that hit me, if the school is so popular why was I the only one at the seminar? Also they told me the classes where filling up fast, when I was there a class was going on, and it had like five people out of 30-40 chairs. Are you kidding me? Not to mention the commerials on the radio said six months, when I got to the seminar they said ten (hmmmm...fishy..). Then came the tuition the base tuition she told me was $28, 000 WTF? For 10 months? I just graduated a four year university, into a horrid economy where I can't find a honest paying job non the less, but that is about what it cost to attend one year at a big time school, with an actual real physical campus instead of a few small rooms that Pc Pro's calls a campus. There's red flags all over this place people, I almost beleived what they were telling me, but I trusted my instincts, and it seems that my instincts are right. By the way the only way you could have failed their Readiness test, is if you were three years old, and you were born with no fingers. They lead you to beleive that they only select the smart people becuase of this test, but don't be fooled my dog could have gotten a passing grade (sorry Jasmine).

I whole heartily agree. PCPro is a big scam. I will sign a formal complaint.

Well after reading all of above posts I would like to point out something new. As of yesterday the latest and greatest PCPro Radio Ad ran after the Brickyard [protected]. And quote "We guarantee that you will have a full time job no more than six months after you graduate from their program or we will refund your Tuition." Now I am sure that there are some hidden clauses about that guarantee but, I dont really care because am accredited school is not allowed to say that. Personally I am a victim of this school, yes I paid the insane amount to take the class and in the end have no job. I had the highest GPA of my entire class and tutored the others in my class, and graduated with a 3.97 over all GPA. Now I am dealing with career services and yes they turn me onto jobs that are like the ones above for little to no pay and many miles from my location. My only choice is to do it on my own and continue educating myself in other areas that employers want. Yes I can probably kiss that money goodbye and well they are good at getting around the small print and from the research i have found that they tend to come out guns ablazing when someone says they did wrong or ripped someone off and I guess scare the person into backing down. Well its time they faced the music for the actions they have done to people who were bad off then and now worse off with a monthly payment and still no or a low paying job. So in closing I would like anyone who reads this who has been to this school or is thinking of suck please email me @ former.student.pcpro@gmail.com. I would love to hear the past stories so maybe we as a group can come together and take a stand.

OK - So I am a SysAdmin looking to fill a helpdesk - network admin position. With all the hype on the radio about PC Pro I figured I'd do some research to see if any of the graduates actually know the difference between tcp and udp.

IMHO one rule is certain. You get what you pay for. Graduate from M.I.T, University of Virgina (Great C.S. Program) U.C. Berkley. You get a high paying job. Graduate from Community College, PC Pro, ITT Tech... All I can say is "You want Fries with that"?

If it is of any consequence to those here who feel ripped off, know that I will not be contacting PC Pro for future employment needs

haha, as I was typing the last note, I got this weeks "leads"

Monster, Dice, Sologig, MilwaukeeJobs. Teksystems has been looking for this level 2/3 for over a year now.

Why should she need to send us ads for helpdesk when the entire school specializes in producing helpdesk workers? Shouldn't she be calling these posts and saying we have dozens (if not hundreds) of students available and trained to fill your needs? You'd think these companies would be greatful for that service.

Pretty much speaks for itself.

Yeah, I got the same thing. I'll ignore it. they'll be sure to drop me if it means less responsibility for them.

I was gonna use the lottery example too. My gas station can say "look at all the ten dollar winners we sell, we 'could' sell you a multimillion dollar ticket too". just don't hold your breath.

I agree with you, BJ. The fry cook scenario just doesn't happen. Despite what the sale rep errr... I mean admissions person says.

After sending back my email about my lack of success, I am getting the same old copy/paste job leads from Laura. There are NO insider job lead of any kind. In fact, I just got an email from Laura saying that if I wanted to remain on the active job leads email, I had to respond back to this email within a week. You spend 25K and this is the treatment you get?!?!?! What is she doing? Searching the job boards just like EVERYONE else. How hard is that?

Ive said it before, and Ill say it again: DO NOT GO TO PC PRO. I liken their success stories to winning the lottery; it happens to a few lucky ones, and thats it. Regardless of how much hard work YOU put in.
