"Of course my college has good infrastructure facilities, all different practical labs etc. My college's infrastructure is in good condition. The whole building is neat and clean all the time. All my instructors are always very kind, patient, helpful and truly care about their profession and their students!"

"DO NOT go to Lincoln tech for hvac. They WILL ROBBED you blindly. I don’t think that the education level is worth $32,000. They has this position that work at the school call an auditor that catches unpaid bills. The auditor does not work with the financial ad department or give you advice like the financial ad would, instead they would just tell you about an unpaid balance. In this case Everything balance was paid for but they told me that fasfa over paid them and that I have a check from fasfa but I would have to sign it saying that it going to go to my next classes. I ask why would I have to sign that if I signed already on how much fasfa going to pay for all my classes. It didn’t add up to me . On top of that the Teachers doesn’t know what they are teaching half the time and when u think you selected the right answer some of the work that u do online the and would be wrong. DONT GO TO LINCOLN TECH HVAC"

"The fact the admissions department can call minors on weekends, late nights and text from their personal cell is very disturbing! The president of the school turns his head when confronted with a problem !!! A lot of the staff is unprofessional, rude, nasty and disrespectful."

"A majority of the instructors don't even know what they are teaching, if you ask a question about the instruction that they are teaching. They say they don't know and walk away without a second thought spared about it. They switched to an online learning platform called Electude, we sit on a computer all day and answer questions that are incorrect and have to be changed or fixed every day. It relies on clicking on a certain location to get a correct answer but if the pixel of your click is off by one you get the whole question wrong. The school is such a joke that they round up all grades that are at least a 60% to 100% to make sure they get the full tuition of the student, it dosent matter if they understand anything taught or not. Final exams and midterms are only 5% of your grade, you can skip every final and mid term exam and still pass with a 4.0 gpa."

"Don’t go to Lincoln tech in Shelton ct. they change their policies every second. In my fourth mod midway though they changed their grading policies when it came to ATI grade scale. They took the scale away so everybody’s avg dropped to where you couldn’t pass. Three senators and the ct higher education is investigating the school. DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL."

"Wishing that I read these reviews before going there. They do not care about their student. Teachers and the office are the same, not caring. Only thinking about their profit. Student are failing, they do not care. They are confusing in the teaching styles. Student have to self teaching."

"I would not recommend coming here for medical coding and billing. Save your money and go to a better school. Some teachers are fantastic, but the curriculum is an absolute mess. Not enough tools or resources. It is pretty much like going to high school."

"Seeing what others offer, I regret coming to Lincoln. There are way too many students in each class and not enough equipment. If you want a quick certification, it's just alright. If you're looking to become an expert, Lincoln does not seem willing to invest the money to make their HVAC program expert level, so buyer beware"

"How is it ok to have 9 failed students in a term and you are still teaching? This Night Term 2 Pharmacology teacher should not be teaching us period. We basically teach ourselves no study guides for tests then will test on 3 and 4 chapters at a time!"

"School is a complete waste of time teachers aren’t electricians they also don’t have that many supplies most times your gonna be watching YouTube as a class and then you will eventually find out that techincal schools like Lincoln are not govt approved as far as electrical certifications the most you can be is an apprentice after leaving Lincoln which is something you need no education to be waste of 25 grand ."

"Horrible school. They screwed up my starting date five times. They do not communicate with you or anyone else. Every adult that works there is rude and disrespectful. I got screwed over and had to look for a new job because I was originally going to start in the morning and end at noon but they had me doing the afternoon classes instead and did not tell me about it even though I went over this multiple times with multiple people that work there! They threatened me because I missed a day of school at the start of the school year that I would be dropped even though my teacher said it would be okay to miss the day. They pressure you to ask friends to go to this awful school they only care about having your money and I would VERY VERY VERY STRONGLY NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL!!!!!"

""This school is a joke. Our teachers don’t even have qualification to be teaching at this level. They are disrespectful, and not knowledgeable. Its expensive, and its a waste of my money. I'm not even sure if I will be experienced enough to even be able to get an apprenticeship after this program. But at least I’ll have the certifications"

There is a journeyman attending in our class that taught me more this week than I have the whole time I’ve been here. Its expensive, and its a waste of my money. Im not even sure if I will be experienced enough to even be able to get an apprenticeship after this program. But at least I’ll have the certifications 🤷🏻"

"I graduated from Lincoln Tech in 1996. With the training I received from the instructors helped me in my automotive career. After I was done I started working for a Napleton dealership. With that experience I became a Shop manager for a tire shop with 5 techs. I just turned 60 and I'm finishing my career as a Sr. Fleet Admin for Metra Railroad. We handle 700 pieces of equipment (from sedans to forklifts to 10 wheel trucks. Lincoln Tech enhanced my knowledge of vehicles (gas and diesel) from my Army experience, and allowed me to raise my kids to men and buy the cars and house I've always dreamed of. I will be retiring in about 7 years and I can't complain on how my career turned out."

"Lincoln Tech in Shelton is a joke. Most of the “students” there are only there to keep collecting unemployment and are bullies while the state of Connecticut continues to pay for them😡. Had things stolen out of my purse numerous times. My glasses and money was stolen. School does nothing about it. Huge turn around in staff. I ended up leaving and was stuck with a bill for $13,000. I wish I had researched this place before wasting my money. Everyone is accepted because all they want is your money. Go to a real college instead. Like I said this place is a joke."

"If you are considering Nursing DONT!! No college will accept the credits. You will have no choice but to start over if you plan to pursue your RN license. That means taking all courses over again! This is what they do not make clear. Now if you are happy simply being an LPN and will not progress then yes this is a great school. Do not waste 2 years of your life here if you want to be an RN, go to a community college, get all Gen Ed courses and go to an ADN program."

"Going to Lincoln Tech has not been as good as the recruiter made it out to be. I'm 3 months from graduation wishing I would have not come here in the first place. The quality of the education and the equipment is not good at all. The trucks hardly ever start and run and the engine we worked on barely hold together. As far as the instructors go all the old instructors that actually know what they are doing are retiring and getting replaced with instructors that haven't been in the industry long enough to be teaching. Some of the instructors make sure you know they know more than you and others are just arrogant. One big disappointment I have is I was told this school is mostly hands on. Yes some of it has been hands on (when the equipment works) but most of it has been lectures in class. I have specifically and strongly recommended people to not go to this school cause its just a huge waste of money when you can get the same or better quality education for just a few thousand dollars a few miles away. All in all this school is not worth the money and effort."

"I attended the Lincoln tech nursing program in Lincoln Rhode Island. My experience there was alright. I did feel like a few of the mods I had to just read the book because in mod 2 we had a teacher start out teaching the mod and then someone else came and made the test and it was nothing we were taught. In mod 4 we had a teacher accept another job and she was supposed to finish out our mod she kept missing our classes and she would be teaching us chapters way in advanced we would be testing on chapters 10,12,15,16,17 and would be learning chapters 30-35. I graduated in December of 2019 shortly before the pandemic began. I never got to have a graduation ceremony we ended up with a cheap “virtual” graduation that just showed our name on a power point that someone read off of. I received a tassel for the wrong year in the mail. I never received my lantern. None of us were able to participate in the graduation yet they had one person who actually worked there participate. The final straw has been that NO ONE will accept their credits. I am not able to transfer anything over to any school accept another technical school. I want my Nurse practitioner and don’t wish to attend another technical school. When I met with admissions I was told they were accredited and that I would be able to transfer credits to other colleges and that is far from the truth."

"This feels like high school but, WAY OVER PRICED. If you're thinking about coming here please don't waste your time or money... Go to community college instead. Financial aid will pay for most of it, and they pay for you to go school! The MA program is entirely on Quizlet, It depends on the teacher you have whether you're actually learning anything. They only have like two good teachers. A job is not actually guaranteed when you go on externship and they're constantly trying to recruit students to come here, They push for you to tell friends and family to come here. The most exciting thing about the program is drawing blood. The only thing they do good for you is send you on externship. Other than that they do have a good career services, they help you with a mock interview, finding a job and putting together a resume. After they've recruited they wont even remember your name. For being such a small school you would think the staff knew everyone but they're just worried about the money from the students that could be."
