Lincoln Tech Reviews

"Yeah ! I definitely agree , upgrade your knowledge , find and study a new career that's best for you or improve your career status , invest for yourself , come and join Lincoln Technical Institute school , I am a proud and happy graduated student .Thank you Lincoln Tech ."

"Okay, first let me start by saying I was 18 and naive when I enrolled here. There for, part of the blame is on myself for not doing my own extended research with someone who may have known a thing or two about "college." For programs like medical assistant and medical billing and coding, $16,000 tuition is outrageous. I am currently at a community college right now and my tuition is incredibly low. I probably could have gotten the same Medical Billing and Coding certificate for $2,000. Again, that's my mistake for giving into an overly priced school. The reason I am truly upset is that my credits will not transfer out. THIS IS SOMETHING TO ALWAYS MAKE SURE WILL HAPPEN, if it doesn't, the school is likely a SCAM. I tried having my transcripts sent to many schools, since I already took anatomy and some other science courses, nothing got transferred. 16 months of school, $16,000 of debt, and NO CREDIT TRANSFER. How is this allowed? I barely even received an education. This school is a joke compared to other colleges. It's an embarrassment to go here. Also, I worked as a medical biller after school for the next few years. I worked in a few different offices, and guess what? My pay ranged from $9.00-12.00 an hour! Don't be deceived, medical billets/coders and medical assistants are the dishwashers of the medical field. They make such a low salary that it's not worth your time or money to go to school for. May as well just go to nursing school. I wish I had from the start. Lincoln Tech was in a shopping plaza in Lowell, MA. I really wish I saw clearly then, but hopefully this will help someone thinking about applying here. Please, go to a legitimate school or community college where all your hard work will not simply vanish with your money."

"There financial aid department had 4 months to run my loan status before I started they waited until a month after I started to tell me I wasn't approved and then said pay $791 a month or find a co signer well when I told them I didn't have a co signer they charged me $8,000 to drop out!!! Lincoln tech grand prarie Texas."

"Lincoln Technical Institute in Northeast Philadelphia on Horning Rd is one of the worst schools you could ever attend. The Director is very arrogant & ignorant & so are most of the staff & teachers. The only thing there worried about is making money off of you. They care nothing about your success there just looking for a check at the end of the day. 95% of the so called teachers there does not have a degree in teaching there Medical Assistances there selves & is only teaching you what they learned years ago when they attended Lincoln Tech themselves. I would never recommend anyone to go there. It's def a waste of time & money."

"I am a current Lpn student at the Lincoln tech that's located in Allentown,PA. The school is a joke. So far I only had 2 teachers that actually knew the information they were teaching. One of the teachers actually give a review of the test right before giving the test with all the answers. The admission reps lie to perspective students by telling them the clinical sites are local & they are not. My class was told by a senior student that we have to pay & plan our graduation & pinning ceremony. My class requested to speak with the head of our department & was told it is true & to do fundraisers but not until our last semester. There is always something popping up in this school that we learn after the fact & its troubling. I find it crazy that the program is roughly $30,000 then learn you also have to pay & plan your own graduation"

"I attended The Indy campus and had a great experience. I had good hands on training. I read some of the negative posts and during school there are students that just didn't care. They didn't show up to class or were late to class. They were the first to complain. I really enjoyed my training. Lincoln placed me with a great company. I started out at 21.00 an hour and in a few months, they bumped me to 24.00 and I am now on a tuition reinbursment program. The only negative I have is the school was far from my home town but im glad i went"

"Attending the campus in Paramus NJ, I have found that, while all the teachers are very good. A vast majority grade completely unfairly, making up work as they go along and completely BSing their way through classes. They're all very knowledgeable, but most lack common courtesy and they willingness to actually teach what they know. If you attend this school, which I don't recommend, know that you'll be graded almost solely based upon how much the teachers like you, not what you know or how much effort you put into learning the material."

"I graduated a long long time ago. 1978 from Union, NJ campus for Automotive. I always bragged how great this school was and the good times I had there. I just stumbled on this site of reviews (nearly all bad) because I was simply looking for Lincoln Tech phone number so I could retrieve my transcripts for continued college today. I'm shocked!!! Though almost no bad reviews were for my school campus, I'm still shocked. I didn't work in the automotive field very long but the knowledge I gained and friends I made are priceless. I just had to add this among all the bad reviews. I have to say something else that will pizz some people off. Sorry I don't mean to but the truth is, the spelling and grammar and overall poor writing by many of the review writers are despicable. If I were an employer and you used "there" to describe personal ownership rather then a place, or use "ur" cause you're too lazy to write 2 more letters to spell it properly, or failure to even use capital letters to start your sentence, would be grounds for any employer to file your resume in the "G" file. I have no advice in choosing a school for anyone. I chose LT for it's awesome reputation long before we had computers to google reviews."

"This School is a joke, I'm Near Graduation and I still Haven't got that much hands on experience, Only classes that I got hands on where automatic trans and gasoline and engines, besides that nothing plus this school all they care about is the money, I was absent for a week because of health issues and they call me demanding me to come back to school saying there going to Fail me or kick me out, And the main director is an ass, So before you spend about 20k on this School think about what your going to get out of this and don't waste your time and money. P.S Don't fail for the coUnsolers b.s its just a scam."

"This school is absolutely horrible, no one cares about the students and for thirty thousand dollars I expected a quality school when there's an emergency they help immediately no instead they make you wait and dont help and tell you jokes like hitchhike or call the tow truck now. I'm not the only one that went through this type of problem many times the schol has abandoned kids that attend the school that cant make it home because their CAR doesnt work when we go to a school to FIX cars. Terrible place"

"The reviews on the LPN program at Lincoln Tech are false. It is not the school's fault if you do not have good study skills & cannot keep up - their job is to teach you, not hold your hand & pass you. I have a BA in psych and then did my LPN as a second career, graduating in 3/2012 with a 3.7 GPA. Passed my NCLEX the first time with flying colors & found an LPN job in 3 weeks. The school is willing to help you find jobs after graduating/taking the NCLEX. The exit exam was significantly harder than the NCLEX, so I feel I was very prepared. In the field, I have the knowledge of a BSN-RN, and I owe LTI for that. They prepare you for REAL NURSING WORK & don't hold your hand through it."

"I graduated 10/97. My class was 100% employed at the finish of school. I took employment at a company installing semi-conductor equipment. I traveled around the world for 5 years and made 72k after 5yrs. I then was offered a job at a nuclear power plant as a Nuclear Instrumentation and Controls Technician. I now make 135K a yr. I def recommend this school to anyone!! If you have complaints about this school or about getting a job after words. I highly find out that the people that complain don't try and find a good job. I know of about a dozen people, personally, that went to LTI and they haven't done anything with there career or there degree. I found it very easy to make something of myself with this experience that I received at LTI. Good Luck to all that have this great opportunity!!"

"Horrible school please save yourself the time and money. This school is all smoke and mirrors. You can learn all of this in the field of your choice while making money"

"This school is a scam. I enrolled for Feb 18th but got several red flags before actually committing. First red flag, I go to financial aid and they try to make me make payments while I will be attending school there even though I previously told them I wasn't employed. Mind you this was after she had told me I had the maximum "grants and loans" that I would be able to obtain. So my tuition was 19k with 2k having to come out of my pocket, I wouldn't possibly be able to pay that without a job. I later sent them an email stating that I would like to enroll next semester so I will have time to find a job to help me pay for the payments. Here is the second red flag. I get a call from them (I swear they call you everyday) saying that they are going to try to "help" me out with my financial situation, needless to say they inform me that I NOW am approved for all "grants and loans" and my total will be 19k without 2k coming out of my pocket. What happened to the 2k that had to come out of pocket? Why wasn't this option given to me beforehand? I politely decline the offer realizing they are just worried about getting my money. Third red flag, after I politely declined they continued to harass me by calling me everyday, practically trying to bully me into enrolling. They used every technique in the book from having me enroll and them getting me a job through career planning (yeah right) to trying to disrespect me by saying any low budget job I find outside of what the school would find me will be my career. After that I decided to do some homework of my own and came across this site, best thing I ever did. Read all of these reviews about how the school tries to get over on the desperate and poor which is totally the truth. Run from this school, they only want your money."

"Highly unorganized school. Overpriced by too much $34,000 for the nursing program. The staff is rude and the minute you need extra help you are on your own. Not allowed to see what you go wrong on a test so how do you learn from your mistakes. I was kicked out for failing a class by one point. Since I was 3/4 thru the program and paid in cash, I HAVE NOTHING BUT A BAD EXPERIENCE AND DEBT. Compete waste of time and money. The school is constantly having new staff because the Director of Nursing is so rude. She has NO compassion for anyone. That place makes me sick to my stomach, especially when I see their joke of commercials on TV. I attended the Hamden Connecticut campus. What a joke this school is!"

"Going to Lincoln Tech in Edison, NJ was the biggest regret in my life. I went there when it was fairly new (we were only the third class). The school was terrible. It was highly unorganized, I didn't learn anything that was actually needed and it did not prepare me for nursing jobs. I spent over $20, 000 going there and now I'm in debt with loans. I passed the classes with flying colors and grated with "honors" and I still failed the NCLEX the first time. They told us that the previous class had a passing rate of 80 something percent but what they didn't tell us was the class size was considerably smaller because it was the first one. My friends and I did not know that and a lot of us failed the NCLEX. We all said we were not ready even though we did well in the actually classes and clinical. Till this day, I still have not gotten a job but I have gone to interviews. One of the places even said that Lincoln Tech was not a great school. If you really want to become a LPN, go to Middlesex VoTech. It is only a 1/4 of the tuition, they apparently more organized, and have a higher passing rate. Or even better, if you can get into a community college nursing program, go there because you can actually get a degree."

"Terrible school. Tuition is around $30,000. for the nursing program. Once you are in, it's great at first. If you fail a class you are allowed to take the course over. The school does not give any student support if you need extra help. The teacher do not go over your test with you in class to see what you got wrong. You have to make an appointment with the teacher, if she/he wants. The school charges you $300.00 for the CHEAPEST scrubs on the planet. The Director of Nursing at the Hamden office has no business running a nursing school. No compassion what so ever at the school. Out of my class there was 31 students....9 graduated. That speaks volume. If you are wanting to go to nursing school, RUN FAR AWAY FROM LINCOLN TECHNICAL IN HAMDEN CONNECTICUT."

"The biggest regret of my life has been going to Lincoln Tech. I went for the MA program. Awesome 4.0 GPA, only missed 2 days out of the entire year. My parents are in a $13 thousand debt for a school that won't even get me a job. The job itself sucks anyway. Be a doctor, nurse, or some tech if you REALLY want to help people. My externship was horrendous. I was at a chiropractor, acupuncturist, and physical therapist. They were all very nice. The horrendous part: all I did was clean, stuff envelopes, and file! I washed dishes, did laundry, took the garbage out, cleaned the entire fucking building..... This isn't the shit I went to school for. I was basically just a cleaning lady. I barely got to do actual desk work (it was administrative). I was lied to. I was told I'd assist with patient setup. Guess what I did? None of that. 6 weeks of this bullshit. Cleaning, stuffing envelopes, nothing productive. No offices are hiring. One lady gave me a dirty glare when I said I was from Lincoln. Bitch gave me my resume back. I acted and dressed professionally to all the offices I went to. All the job listings I get are way too far; they know I don't drive. Also must be bilingual and certified in all this stupid shit. I barely got any help with my clinical stuff. So I'm not clinically certified. Limited in jobs. It's a shitty job anyway. It's basically just watching the doctor do everything. Just become a doctor, or even a nurse. At least you're involved in people's health. Or even a physician assistant. Lincoln said they sent my resume to an office. I followed up. They said they did not receive a resume. It was a recycling office! I was told by the career services lady that there's a front desk position in a nearby town. Great! She told me to wait for a call. What? Don't I call to follow up? She did not give me the name or number for this place. This was a week ago. I  hate this place. Not recommending to anyone. A waste of $13 thousand fucking dollars. I still have my Lincoln scrubs. I want to burn them so bad. When I hear the word Lincoln Tech I wanna rip my ears off. It's a scam. It'll leave you jobless and in debt. It's a pointless job anyway. Going back to emergency medicine which is USEFUL AND ACTUALLY BENEFITS SOCIETY."

"Short and sweet, Everything everyone is saying is very true! To help your self ,I would start at a community college that way your credits will transfer in case you want to further your education later. I am looking into a degree in engineering and my credits are useless. Or should I say the credits I thought I had. And on top of it all. Most employers all but laugh at you when you say I graduated with honors from Lincoln tech . Please do not go here .You will thank me later....."

"Lincoln tech is very unorganized school. nothing arrives on time example books,uniforms,tools. way to many and long breaks and early release students way to often .No cafeteria also is a trouble.also be ready to see some student that are there just because government paid for it,that doesn't give a crap basically talking during the whole class that all make you feel very disappointed right at first day of course , plus is not cheap to begin with it 24k them if you decide to withdraw from school like i did because all of that they will charge you around 10% to 25% in the first month...... just sharing my experience."
