Pennco Tech

Went for HVAC, absolute waste of money. It gave me a basic understanding on how the components work. However, what they dont tell you is how difficult it is to get a job in the field with little experience.

Extremely unprofessional. I was going to send my son here but each time we went whether it was orientation or to speak with someone they told us a different requirement. Then the day before class starts. They say you need to have this payment by tomorrow and this much needs to be paid for books and equipment. This is stuff they couldve told us the first meeting and gave us some time.

The electrician program is extremely shady. Teachers will tell you over and over again this is what the book, NEC, and OSHA will tell you to do but that is not how you do things. In my opinion that is an extremely reckless and at least a borderline illegal way of teaching. Teachers can also be verbally abusive, they might have one time been competent electricians but they are not qualified to instruct people. I assure you I did not wash out of the program, I did graduate and these comments are simply warning new students what they're in for if they decide to take part in the program.

Now this review I'm doing is my experience from 2022. When I first started my first day in class it was a very nice and easy process. I had 4 terms, which were chassis, electrical, power train, engines and servicing, everyone in my class agreed all 3 terms are 100% worth it because each instructor was extremely nice and gave you all the information you need in each lesson. Those 3 by themselves made my money kinda worth it. However when you get into last term it kinda changed, not as a mean instructor. He was nice on some days. It's more he doesn't teach engines. You'll be in the shop fixing and assisting other peoples cards for 3 and a half months with maybe a week or so with rebuilding a engine with minimal information. I have to do that on my own time at home to understand what makes a engine so important and the process it takes. At the time of writting this there is no powertrain so if you want to know about transmissions and joints you are out of luck. There's no dino tuning and welding in automotive technology . For my x amount of money... I would say 3 quarters of it was worth it.i would recommend going to a 2 year school like RCGC.

Danielle cattell is ignorant and trash . I filed a complaint in 2019 and they transfer her to NJ and didn't apologize to me or solve anything. They need to be arrested. All they care about is how many students enrolling its easy money. Edit: Understand that you still got your LOW Paying job as a fake director because I didn't call the cops that day. You and that clown instructor Michelle Miller was threatened I was going to come back and take your Job. Don't worry I went to a real college and graduated. I make more money than you ! It's obvious I was excelling in the pharmacy tech class and doing so well. Both Danielle Cattell and Michelle Miller the pharmacy tech instructor at the PA school ousted me out and witness 3 equally ignorant people in class kept bothering me . They can't mind their own business. Both Danielle and Michelle the teacher witness it but they didn't tell the 3 people to stop bothering me and stop talking to me. In the end, they kept the 3 people while I chose to leave after 2 weeks. This should tell you something about this school. They was threatened by my presence. Look at where I am now ! Funny you ran to NJ after I file a complaint.
