Lincoln Tech Reviews

"im contacting a lawyer as i type this place is a total waste of time, not to mention money... im not paying for crap!"

"School total joke, and waste of your time. You will learn more watching cooking shows on tv sitting at home. The instructors are cool and know the material, but due to the office side of the" state" operation school is just dumb. Its a scam, grant you money through the state, let every moron in, and there you have it. Im looking into a lawyer just to make sure i don't owe them anything. They can keep their little piece of paper, which by the way most other schools/colleges don't even consider to be credit worthy. Email me at kjolet@hotmail.com if your interested in being part of the claim i make against the school. Grammer and punctuation not even needed in these review lol not even worth my time.Read Less"

"I have been attending LTI since dec 2010 and I loved it but, I feel a little confused about what the teacher is teaching.It seems that some teachers are not certified teachers and just hand out worksheet assignments. We are taught one day and expected to take a test the next.It is crazy, alot of people cheat I know they do because it is almost impossible to get hundreds in everything when we are not being taught properly. There is alot of butt kissing going on here also.My teacher always talks talks about her personal life more than the field itself.I was so upset when I started to figure out that we the students are on our own. It seems like a joke.We learn to just pass a quiz or test not to understand.I think my teacher doesnt really care what happens to her students.She has a moody attitude from day to day. I want to do well and get what I am paying for>>> an education!!!! I study hard and get good grades but I see alot of students struggleing and not being helped.Ireally want to pass the national exam in July.Does anyone have advise???? help???Read Less"

"I have read most of these reviews and I can't believe what I'm seeing. People complain about failing because of attendance, being late, ect... well yea you're going to fail. What I can't believe is reading a line from someone complaining they were failing because of attendance saying that they were late a lot... again well yea that's how it works. show up on time and you might have passed. To top it off, people who use words like "tyna fail me" should be failed. I mean really? tyna? Is that even a word? This review by someone says the teachers get into the students drama... the students shouldn't be bringing their drama into the class room anyway so what's your point? Leave it at home. You need to look at is as if this was your job because what you do in the class room you will most likely do on the job site. If this school is doing anything wrong its is letting just anyone in. GET A GRIP AND STOP BLAMING OTHERS FOR YOUR OWN SCREW UPS!!!!! AND YES, I WOULD RECOMEND THIS SCHOOL. My teachers are great, the school is great and my grades are great! I do the work and I put 100% into it. Try it some time.Read Less"

"I would recommend this school. The teachers really care about you, and help you with just about anything. As for some people who wrote reviews on the school and mentioned people who have kids and are not married, i really don't see the relevance in school and people's personal business. this is a website to write a review on the school not about the students in it.. Get a grip its 2011 and people do have kids without marriage.."

"You know you could get your bachelor's through Lincoln online"

"I graduated from LCI 2 yrs ago I have to tell you there is alot of bullying here even as an adult. Alot of curriculum was not covered. It's pretty sad. There is alot of goofing off. I volunteered much of my time here and it actually didn't matter. I had to find my own internship without any direction. Most folks that I graduated with are not in this field. No, I would not recommend this school. I went to the school in Shelton CT"

"I didn't even go to this school but went in for interviews and it's so much money,you dont get a degree and you have a bunch of hidden fees. they attack you by phone everyday to come to there school and try to make even a university look bad compare to theirs. Biggest Mistake if you go here,I even have friends that went here and they ended up going to another school,but already wasted there money! do not go here!"

"for everyone complaining why didnt you people just report them to the BBB if the school is that bad and you feel like you've wasted your money. Everything in life is a personal choice, maybe you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time,as far as job placement any school can tell you that they will have a job waiting for you when your done but the bottom line is the company has to like you and for the most part your the one who has to put the effort in to actually get the job,no one can pick who they go to school with I really dont think it matters where you go to school at your always gonna have those folks who dont get it and who act like fools, just move on and learn from your mistakes. despite the bad complaints about the school I'm gonna give it a shot I hope I have better luck at the Mount laurel Campus and if not I know how to complain to the right folks to help make a difference like the BBB and the Board of Nursing, there are so many proper outlets all of you could have taken to help get the school back on track but I guess comlaining is working out better.. Good luck to all of you!Read Less"

"I started Lincoln Tech at the Brockton campus in july 2010 i am currently in my 5th Mod and this place is a joke.So far a friend of mine has had to have her grade fixed every mod because the teachers apparently have no idea what they are doing, In most of the classes you pretty much teach yourself then when the teachers do help you out they skip chapters because "you dont need to know it for a test" What happens in the real world when that chapter that was skipped needs be known!?!? Just today in class we watched a movie instead of reviewing for our midterm that is on Monday because our teach didn't feel well what is that?? They tell you its hands on NOT Phlebotomy is the only class that is hands on.They also fail to inform you that they DO NOT have job placement they tell you that 40% of the people on externship get jobs yet theres people coming back saing they have been out for 5 months and cant find work because you need 2 years prior experience. The tuition is insane look up the books they use online and do it at home you'de be better off on your own.Seriously dont waste your time please!!!Read Less"

"It all boils down to one thing. College credits. LTI does NOT have accredited classes. I received an associates degree there a few years ago, and I got a decent job, but now I'm ready to do more with myself. NOPE! None of my credits transfer! NONE! $25,000.00 for what? NOTHING! I have to start bascially ALL over again. I guess I'll have two seperate Associates Degrees and a LOT of wasted money. I feel like a dipstick. I was all proud when I graduated with honors at the top of my class thinking I was actually on the way to bettering myself and furthering my education. I went and applied to a school to get my Bachelor's rolling and they all but laughed in my face. Do what everyone is saying here! Go to a community college and get the credits that will actually HELP you later! Don't get duked into this sham! You owe owe it to YOURSELF! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!!! If you are not planning on going anywhere else, and want nothing but an associates, this is for you. If all you want is an associates in this day and age, I feel sorry for you. I've been at my job I got with My associates for 4 years now, and there is NOTHING higher without a Bachelor's. I make CRAP. Now I have to get the 2 years of my life back and start all over!Read Less"

"I have been attending the LCI in Columbia MD for a month now. It is a great school. The Chef/teachers really know what they are talking about. The coursework is very intense and you learn a lot in a short period of time. The school is very clean and the kitchens are amazing! They have everything you could ever need in a kitchen. They have about 4 hand washing stations per kitchen. They are very big on hygiene. You take quizzes all the time to make sure you are understanding the information. I would definitely recommended LCI!Read Less"

"This is just an f.y.i. for anyone thinking about entering the MA program in Edison NJ. You will be wasting you're time and all of your money or the states. This school and structure was designed for children , not adults trying to better themselves in building a skill for a career. Starting with the school and rooms, they are absolutely filthy and unorganized start to finish. The grounds aren't what you would consider safe either. The teachers are either under educated themselves or have to follow the guidelines that seem to be configured by children. I am so disappointed that this school was the decision I made. Now that the staff and school itself have been discussed, I guess it's time to get into the students. The students in my program range from 17 and up and a majority of them are female. MOST are unproductive,not interested in learning what so ever, loud, distracting, rude, disrespectful, caddy, and everyone talks behind everyone's back. It's just plain childish. So I truly hope whoever reads this takes my words seriously. This is not the first college/adult training I have attended but it is by far the worst and I would never recommend this institute to anyone. I am sorry if I have offended anyone but, everything I have said is my own opinion and the same opinion of several of the other people in this school. Read Less"

"I am in the MA-X-ray program at the Fern Park campus. My A&P class was fine, the instructor was ok. My MA instructor was absolute AWESOME!!! I am extremely confident in my skills and knowledge. But, the x-ray portion of the program SUCKS!!! I have spent 18 weeks in the course, but am very uncomfortable about my skills and am not looking forward to this portion of my externship. The teacher gave us the test for each week on Monday, then would go over every question and all answers on Wednesday, then Thursday, the exam is given exactly as given to us, but the questions are in a different order. I have maintained a 4.0 and have very few absences..and yet I'm not convinced that I know all I need to know. The worst part of all of this, the administrative staff doesn't care about any concerns the students have.Please be sure to think about this program and campus before you make your final decision. If I were to do it again, I would not take the BMO portion of the program, and would probably have to think real hard to decide about going to LTI.Read Less"

"I att. LTI on Jan06 the entire course was for 11 month, Let me just tell u, I dind't know anything about Air conditioning,electrical and Heating. After compleating 10 course with a 4.00 GPA I was happy,until my last class Refrigeration 2 for commercial application I pass all of my test except for one I had a low score but did not fail the test.I pass the class with good grades after all. I was also in the ELITE team. This program had u compete with other tech on trouble shooting units with different problems. My only dissapointment was with their Job placement Program or u could say the cordinator for the school job placement department, No job for almost 6 month,I had to ask a friend to get me a job, but overall I did learn a new career Read Less"

"I attend the Lincoln tech in Edison NJ, worst school ever. Over priced for NOTHING!!! The externship coordinator is horrible!! I regret everything about this school, better off going back to college and finishing up. The sell you LIE about this school!!"

"(For the record, I go to the one in Northeast Philadelphia.)I went to CCP for a semester to find out that it was a mess there. So, I applied to Lincoln Tech for Computers. I am not an idiot with a computer either. This campus when I first started lost a computer teacher. So it left the school with 3 teachers and some subs. Every single computer teacher does not teach. The class I have some kids just leave for the day because they feel they are not learning anything and I admit I am in that group of people. People I talk to in another class say they same and we hold ourselves together as long as we can to try to stay.The school does not care if anyone learns as long as they have their money they do not care what you do. So many people who deserved to be kicked out weren't. The teacher I have now has gotten complaints from the staff due to the students telling the staff about him and they did nothing!Acted like nothing is wrong. Other campus's are diffrent but 98% of reviews I have read they are not much different.That saying ' you will only get what you want out of an education' means nothing when the teacher can not teach and every computer teacher there cant teach either. So my advice is do not go here you will waste your moneyRead Less"

"Total scam. I graduated with a very high cumulative average in October of 2009, and I am STILL WAITING for my diploma. The financial aid department tells me it is on HOLD because I owe MORE money. What a racket. I would not recommend this school to anyone. My mom helped me with the medical terminology aspect, as the instructor could not even pronounce the terms. What a shame. Hopefully some day I will receive the diploma that I worked so hard for. Two words.... STAY AWAY."

"I attended the school from July 2007 until I graduated from the pharmacy technician program in Feb 08. . I graduated with 4.0 and 100% attendance too. My career service counselor was the Director of Career ServicesHe and didn't evem call for months at a time and when he does there is never any follow through. I was told by that he receives awards for job placement when he doesn’t even seem to care about my job placement. I can never reach him via telephone either. I understand that the school can’t guarantee job placement, but I am putting effort forth and expect to have some help from your side. This has caused me to ask for career service assistance from your NE Philadelphia campus; although they were unable to help directly they were able to provide some assistance by listening to my concerns. Another concern I have is the school staff. Around the ending of my time at the school I had one male student cheat on an examination and get caught, he spoke to the head dean of allied health along with my Professor and still stayed in the program and somehow finished it. The sad thing is he actually job from his externship at Acro Pharmaceutical in Sharon Hill Philadelphia. This continues with the financial aid staff that doesn’t provide adequate service to most students. I had received no financial aid other than loans to finance my education. Also to note many of my classmates were on welfare during their studies at Lincoln Tech and that it was funny and cool to do badly in school and waste their money. The school catalogue doesn’t depict accuracy. At the same time the school didn’t give myself significant training, I didn’t even learn half the things I was supposed to in the respected classes I took. And there was no hands-on training that the school promised. There wasn’t even a lab we could use for class activities. The externship program turned out to be a problem too. Early on in my program many opportunities are presented, however later on the staff discloses only 3 real opportunities: a customer service job at a Keystone Mercy, a healthcare center in my neighborhood, and a customer service retail position at a Kmart. The first offer, where most of my classmates went, was too far to travel too. The second offer wasn’t possible due to another student in the area “supposedly” working there (this latter turned out to be a lie). I therefore took the third option of working in retail where thankfully it worked out for the best. Both (externships coordinators) were of no help either! Told me all Lincoln techs in the area use the same sources for externs. This is a lie found out only by contacting the Lincoln Tech Philadelphia ne campus in early August 2009. I even had to write a letter to my professor asking and telling why I should get a top choice for my externship! Through the program I was assured if you work hard you will have success and the students you hassle their career service councilors will usually get better job offers! I was considered a top student and was assured a superior externship site. A final note is the poorly kept small bathrooms. They were a disgrace! Male teachers even stood in the male bathroom waiting for students to get out, and the male staff had no restroom of their own. With my credentials I was told to expect a hospital site for my externship.To the women who works in admissions, what campus do you work for and how can you say that many students are lazy?Read Less"

"I am currently attending the campus in Casselberry, Florida. I believe that it was previously Americare school of nursing, i read the reviews which were unhelpful, most of these people complain about them pricing for either dropping out, leaving, or someone for FIGHTING! Really fighting?! I would have kicked you out too! This school is wonderful, the teachers are hands on and experienced. The facility is new, and the equipment is expensive and brand new. My classmates are wonderful and all dedicated to learning. Sure it's pricey but it's private and well worth it if you actually do your work. I don't know about the other lincoln tech campus' but the one I go to here in Florida is great! They really do care about your education.Read Less"
