I went here starting July of 2023.... it was a critical time in my life. while the staff was…read moreamazing, there were two people who impacted me the most. Mrs Gardiner and Ms Alice. Mrs G just made learning fun and east and she looked out for her students. Ms Alice on the other hand also cared about the students at the school. Still til this day she asks me about myself and my sister. She always checks in and when it came to me finding a job she always had a lead. I personally want to thank Ms Alice for all her help and support throughout this journey whether it was a check up or giving advice. She really cares about the student's success even after you are no longer a student. Forever grateful to her!!! ~Kiara Davis~ Surgical Technician

I reached out to North-West College in Long Beach to get information about their Pharmacy…read moreTechnician program. I spoke with admissions and was given the tuition details and overall cost. After reviewing everything, I felt the program was much more expensive than I expected. I ended up enrolling in a tuition-free Pharmacy Technician program through a local adult school instead. To my surprise they offer a lot of options in the medical field tuition free If you're considering this school, I recommend asking for a full breakdown of tuition and fees and comparing it with other programs in your area before making a decision.

Community college is supposed to be accessible to the general public. Although LBCC is a public…read moreschool, the administration makes it just about as difficult and vague and tedious of a process as possible. Phone wait times are cuh-raaaaaay-ZEE. Bunnies. Bunnies. BUNNIES. Everywhere, all the time, and they're fat and imposing and not skittish at all. You WILL be having to move out of their way, because they won't move out of yours. This has been going on for years and years and is sort of a charming part of LBCC. There are just as many bunnies as students on campus at any given moment, and it's comical. Social life and opportunities on-campus are also a plus. In general, the culture here is very chill, very live-and-let-live. There are constantly scouting events, some subtle and some not, so if you have any desire to be on a t.v. show or in a movie, or a part of some experiment or prank or whatever, you don't have to look very hard...it'll be just as likely that you'll get approached first. Parking lots (of which there are several, including a five-story complex), on top of the fact that you have to pay for a new sticker every semester, are ill-equipped to handle the volume of cars that LBCC needs to host. In addition to having to leave wiggle room for everyday traffic, I vividly remember having to leave additional room on top of that for the parking lot circling. The one great thing this school had going for it was/is a big handful of the instructors. I had a few that made a positive, lifelong impression on me, and I'm grateful for that. Extra shoutouts to Lauren Dees. Her drawing class was AMAZING!

The weather news said "we were not suppose to be outside in 105 degrees weather, but the school decided to change the graduation location at the last minute!!! They should have separated the majors on different days for the graduation, so we did not have to wait long!!! Many people waited long with sun in their faces!! They should have had solar panel at the stadium or host it inside!! A lot of people got sun burnt! There was no water fountain near the bathroom!! Furthermore, the graduation was okay. I would not recommend going to it!!

I really enjoyed the Aviation program at this school when I started. For reference, I will be…read moregraduating in February 2026 with my General, Airframe and Powerplant written tests completed on my own time with a voucher from the school (one of the positives of the Aviation program). When I started, I felt like I was challenged: I was in a new field, I was using my brain in new ways to complete projects that felt out of my league; to my surprise, I have passed all of my courses with flying colors. I have never failed a final or a class, and I've maintained a steady 3.5 GPA, despite being homeless due to the egregious prices for student housing (I could write a whole other review in that alone... ) However, as I'm nearing the end of my academic career at UTI, I'm noticing a severe imbalance in the expectations for the students VS. the curriculum they're given. The curriculum, specifically in the Airframe and Powerplant sections, is either severely, SEVERELY lacking or is WAY too much work to fit into three weeks of class. For example, our Sheetmetal classes (both Beginner and Advanced) were packed full of projects. We were starting a new project every other day, and it was messy. I got along as best as I could and completed most of my projects with good grades, but I couldn't help but notice how many equally qualified classmates were struggling to meet their deadlines because of how much they were expected to finish. When you only have two pressurized air tanks and one drill press shared between classes ranging from 15 to 50 students, I have no idea how you expect every single one of us to return a perfect, industry-standard project to you. For my second example: Turbines and Props. As a technician in training, this is the meat and potatoes of being a technician. You WANT to know what is going on with these systems hands-on as much as possible, for the safety of yourself and others. But despite this, not a single day (or maybe one day, if you're lucky!) is spent doing hands-on training. We have a Piper 28R-180 in stellar condition, a Robinson R-22 and multiple turbine engines to work with. Why are we not being dragged by the shirt collars to study these?? Instead, our instructors are putting on YouTube videos for the last 4 hours we have to sit here. On that note, let's talk about the "seat time" requirement. This school is over 3 years behind FAA regulations when it comes to seat time. The FAA repealed its former seat time requirement in May 2022, according to CFR Part 147 subpart 17, Paragraph A-3 (I will attach a photo.) This seat time requirement was repealed when the FAA began feeling a rising demand for new AMTs. So, they updated the terminology from "seat time" to "proficiency-based" in hopes of training as many new AMTs as possible to fill the demand. However, UTI still insists on this outdated seat time requirement. You come in to school, get your work that's due done within an hour, and waste the rest of your day sitting in class doing quite literally nothing, and those of us who will excel in the field are passing (i.e. Proficient, according to CFR Part 17, Subpart 17, Subparagraph A-3. Look it up.) If you want us here for 4 more hours, you need to be giving us hands-on experience instead of showing us YouTube shorts. Otherwise I would love to use the rest of my day to work so I don't go into debt repaying this sorry excuse for an AMT school back for curriculum that gives me the bare minimum. Spend $50k somewhere else until this school gets it together. Lots of love, figure it the f**k out, Greyson P.S: Change the damn acronym. "Universal Institute of Technology". I will never wear this school's name proudly.

I attended in 2023 and have simply been trying to obtain my transcript and clarification on whether my coursework was measured in units or credits. This is basic information, yet I've been sent in circles without resolution. It's very frustrating and unprofessional. Additionally, after graduating from the automotive program, I can confidently say the education was not worth the $40,000-$60,000 cost. I've seen more in-depth instruction and hands-on training at community colleges for a fraction of the price. In my opinion, the program does not justify the tuition.

Matt and a few other instructors make it seem like its a burden to have to help students. A lot of the equipment is also old and broken and students are then blamed for it. I honestly did not feel like anyone at CIEMT wanted me to succeed. The entire experience felt like I was being hazed. Being yelled at and demeaned is not a bug but a feature of CIEMT. Do not attend this school if you want to have a good experience learning. I promise you that you will regret it. Do not be fooled by the low program cost. I ended up taking another EMT class at UCLA and I passed without any issues. Please take your hard earned money elsewhere.

I went to their website and registered for the June course, paid the $250 fee, and only then noticed I had been enrolled in the May session instead. I never even viewed the May option, and this all happened within two minutes. I immediately registered again this time correctly for the June course. Since it was late at night, I couldn't call right away, but I contacted the school the next day to explain the situation and request a refund for the mistaken May enrollment. The woman I spoke with was incredibly rude, dismissive, and repeatedly blamed me, refusing to even hear me out. She said it's my fault and that it's none refundable and that I singed it. She made it clear that they wouldn't help. So, I had no choice but to dispute the charge with my bank. Then today, I received an email saying I was being refunded for the June class the one I actually wanted and was told I'm no longer welcome at their school for making a false dispute which is not true. Meanwhile, three of my friends registered with me, and after hearing about this experience, they've decided to go elsewhere. So congratulations you kept $250, but lost four students. I will be exploring legal action due to your unprofessional conduct and the clear issues with your glitchy website. Future students, do yourself a favor and find a school that actually cares.
