I previously wrote a negative review about my experience here with MTI. Since my time attended here I have met with Michael Zimmerman and he has done everything in his power to make things right. I appreciate him getting personally involved with my situation. I have also learned if something doesn't make sense, appeal it! I attended Paul Mitchell here at MTI and the instructors were very knowledgeable. Unfortunately I was unable to finish my program, but I would tell anyone if you're interested in cosmetology this place will give you the opportunities to succeed. Thanks again MTI for your support and understanding. read more

This "school" may work for some people, but for people in the real world..it doesn't help you. You may think that when you graduate that you are going to get this GREAT job doing what you were trained to do, but it is actually really hard to accomplish that. (Good job if you did.) After you are done with the 6 months after schooling, then your payments kick in. Unless you have $700+ a month to pay back the school, you are pretty much screwed and have to go to another financing company that doesn't help you out at all and charges you a LARGE interest rate. I personally should have gone to a REAL college, because at least you will get a REAL degree and actual certified professors. read more

Friendly accommodating staff!! Financial aid goes out of their way to make sure you have a clear understanding of everything thats going on, and even helps get you funding for school! Class sizes are smaller than the average college so you can get one on one with the professor! read more

I'm really excited to start school in May! The admission process was stress free for me, and they offer a combined MA/Phlebotomy program that nobody else does. They obviously have a good reputation, as they are a CalGrant eligible school. A lot of employers are looking for the skill set they offer. And most of all, Amy was very supportive of my decision to wait until May so that I can do the 8:40-12:10 class. Honestly, it is up to each person to make the most of their education and put your best foot forward. When you are certified by the state, that means you have a license to practice in your field of training. So, if you have to start from the bottom and work your way up, it is what it is. Everyone has to start somewhere, and there are staffing agencies that hire new grads. Also, I did ask questions because of a couple other experiences at vocational schools I was interested in. Nobody was mean or demeaning to me. I was accepted into my program. And in 3 appointments, my enrollment and financial aid were complete. I'm confident that MTI will make a huge difference in my life. And being that I'm a realist, I know that no job will be handed to me. I have to soak in all the knowledge and clinical skills so that I can make a good impression when my externship starts. read more

I am currently attending MTI COLLEGE, I will be graduating in Oct. I am truly hurt by the comments that are on here about MTI. I love my college and so do all of my classmates. Any college is what you yourself put into it. I have researched and been to many colleges, but MTI has some of the best instructors and faculty ever .. Please come see for yourself !!! You will not be disappointed. I promise .... WOOP WOOP go class 2011!!!! Jessica S. read more

I just graduated from my M.A program and I wanted to finish school before leaving a review. Just like many of you I did my research I went to many schools to see and compare what every school had to offer and I have to say none will ever compare to MTI. MTI feels like a home, you feel welcomed by everyone from the moment you walk-in. EVERYONE is so professional and so approachable and available for anything it is you need. My teachers every single one, THANK YOU !!!!!! A.J. Sperling I had him for most of my medical classes he's THE BEST . But back to what I was saying, this school and all the people that work here are very supportive BUT lets make things clear... YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE WORK ! You really cant pin your fails on them when every professional here gives you what you need to succeed and be successful. Along, with it all, you will make friends that are in the same path as you and they too will become your support system, because they will be going through it all with you. I feel accomplished and proud to be a MTI College graduate and I am glad I made the decision to enroll in this school. And I hope you become part of the royal blue scrub family if thats what you are going for you wont regret it. read more

I was interested in the school, after sending in my questions I received a call from Anthony within minutes. During the conversation, I explained that I went to a junior college and have some credits and was wondering if some could be used for the program- he said possibly and asked if I was still in school, I told him no, he asked me to elaborate... i said what do you want to know? I explained due to the virus, I lost my job. He said okay, so not by choice? Losing my job has set so much back for me. I didn't not have enough money for the next semester. I was using what money I had to take care of bills. I also live with a high risk person so for a while there we did not feel comfortable with me working until things died down a bit. Since late summer I have been looking for a job, which he asked me about. I felt completely judged for not being in school. This last year has been extremely hard for many of us, things happen, like maybe a huge pandemic? You don't know nor do you need to know my full situation. Lastly, I asked about financial aid. He asked what I wanted to know. I told him I never used it before, I told him anything he could tell me would be great really. He laughed at me and asked why I never used it. I explained to him I try very hard to pay as I go do that I don't accrue debt. He thought that was ridiculous and said well you know you could use it. That whole 9 minute conversation ruined the school for me. I was so nervous to talk to these people as I have high expectations for a school like this, you're suppose to be great.... see how one employee can cost you? The call from Anthony was so disrespectful, you are there to answer my questions not judge my situation. Although I wanted to go to this school so badly, it's okay, I will find another school that's even better. Thank you for showing your true colors before I invested my time and money! Oh yeah Anthony, I won't be attending our Friday appointment, I had enough of you. read more

I love MTI!!! Best school ever!! I am a 2017 graduate of MTI. I now work at one of the biggest health care companies in California, Dignity Health. At MTI I was trained in every aspect of the clinic. I was hired at the urgent care where I did my externship to be in charge of the clinic immediately after completing my externship. At MTI we were first taught professionalism. Everything we were taught was real world information. We did everything hands-on. Injections, blood draws, in-house labs EKG's nebulizer treatments, ear lavages everything was hands-on. The staff are still a major part of not only my life but my classmates lives as well. I strongly encourage anyone looking for a school that is going to do everything in their power to get you into a career that fits your life, to consider MTI. Just stop by for an informational tour of the school and you'll see. I GUARANTEE it'll be the best decision you'll ever make. #5Stars read more

All I can say is do not invest time, nor money into this excuse of a school. I was enrolled for 6 months and incredibly disturbed, to say the least, by the lack of professionalism and credentials at this establishment. Although I have to credit Heather and Sue for their support, the rest of the staff I encountered concerned me with their lack of qualifications and I can confidently say that I learned nothing at this school except to get my education elsewhere. read more

I recently left a negative comment on here, and a couple weeks later was contacted by Michael, I really appreciated the fact that he called and wanted to set up an appointment to help me get my licenses started. So we will see what happens from here! read more

As a graduate from MTI Medical Assistant program, my overall experience was challenging. Like everyday life you would come across rude people,and some staff seemed to favorite other students over another which is why I gave 4 stars. More importantly when you get through that,MTI staff is very knowledgeable. I enjoyed Dr.Laura,even though she's tough,she's was very knowledgeable and gives you that push to do better each and every time. You get what you put in. If you are half stepping in your classes and not really serious,most likely it would reflex on your grade. I would recommend this school if you are serious. read more

I graduated from MTI in 2010 as a Medical Assistant with a 4.0 GPA and Honors. I have had some issues with the school, concerning their externship and placement services, but have removed my review of the school for now because MTI has reached out to me and are looking into ways of correcting the issues I have had. I have also changed the numerical rating for now. If MTI corrects the issues presented before them, I will change my review to reflect the corrections. I appreciate the fact that MTI has reached out to me and it shows me that they are serious about these issues. I look forward to the results. Frank read more

I have been at MTI for 8 months and LOVE it here! I agree with Jessica S. There are always going to be naysayers, but your experience is going to be what you make it. The staff and faculty at MTI go out of their way to make the education at MTI not only complete, but fun! They have many programs that are very impressive ... how many colleges will guarantee their graduates for employ-ability? We are given every opportunity to succeed and learn at MTI - it's up to us to take advantage of them. Isn't that what you pay for an education for? I wouldn't want to go to school anywhere else! read more

I can not say enough about this college. I was impressed the minute I walked through the doors. The instructors are awesome! I can not think of one person that made my experience unpleasant. I highly recommend this college for the serious who truly want to succeed. Learning was actually fun. Let's be honest, if we don't succeed the college doesn't so why wouldn't they make sure we get the best education. Please don't listen to the negative comments. MTI is a real college with real instructors that care. read more

I went to MTI College for the Medical Billing and Coding program. Overall I got what I needed done at the school (get my education) however, the assistance in getting a job is not really there, so if you do go to this school, be prepared to do the job searching pretty much on your own. After I graduated in March last year (2017) I was searching for a job for approx 3-4 months and the school had set me up with zero interviews. My grades were excellent, my attendance was also very good so this was not a problem with my performance, the school just doesn't help. They got their money and they were pretty much done. read more

Truly, I have to give MTI 5 stars. I attended the medical assisting program and loved it. The teachers are fantastic! If you want to attend, there are several things you need to know: You could attend Sierra College for 13k less and they provide the MA test for you. At MTI, you have to pass a few tests consisting of 175 questions each missing less than 9 I believe to even be able to take the state/national test to be certified. MAKE sure you tell them exactly what kind of externship site you WANT. Some of your grades are loaded to the MTI learning site. You have to check with teachers that don't load them. I finished December 5th and don't have my grades. My fault, I could make the 50 mile drive to check in or call. These teachers made it worth my 100 mile trip. They all worked hard for me and gave me every opportunity. As long as you put in the time, you can make good grades. There are labs you can attend to grab knowledge nuggets. Free and totally helps you out. The last class you take for clinicals is tough. Make sure you have a few people that will let you tap a vein. You will have to take an English and math class. You do not want to be late or absent. You may have to retake a class if you are. Most classes are 6 week courses. You will learn all of the up to date information in your field of study. Check out Jack Z. in admissions. Great guy and doesn't beat around the bush. Financial aid is rad too. read more

After getting a 4 year degree in Psychology at Sac State, complete with student loans, I was qualified to get a job at Starbuck's. Frustrated, I checked out MTI and in less than a year, I'm gainfully employed in the health care field, with other professionals...benefits and all. thank you, MTI! I should have come to you first! read more

I do not advise attending this school. I have now attended MTI Business college and their Partner Paul Mitchell school. The administration was very unorganized, and I know Mr. Zimmerman feels that his student surveys show satisfaction, however, I have been in contact with hundreds of students (since I attended back in 95 and in 2010) that would differ with those results. This used to be a much better school. As of late, I heard complaint after complaint from not only the beauty school, but the MTI student body. They immediately turn around and hire new graduates to actually teach (which is not fair to the students, nor the new graduate that has very little idea what the real world salon environment is like!) Also, the job placement assistance, is basically emails that come off of craigslist and internet job boards. I would recommend the California Academy Paul Mitchelle, or Heald. read more

I am currently attending MTI and going through the Network Administration program. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed all of my classes. Coming from a background of not knowing a ton about computers the teachers and students all foster a great learning environment. The classes are small enough to be helpful and challenging enough to build confidence. I came to MTI with a degree from a 4 year college and I fully expect my degree/certifications I will be getting at MTI to be on course with my 4 year degree. Parking can be difficult, so make sure to get there early. read more

I AM IN CONTACT WITH THE LOCAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY! I feel that I was discriminated against according to Americans With Disabilities Guidelines. I was interested in medical assistant training and went for two interviews and testing. I had the financial end arranged and am currently a college student with transferrable credit-so it was a shock when I received a form letter telling me that I was denied admission. No reason was given and phone calls were unreturned. I did disclose during an interview that I have a psychological disability. I came in with money in hand and medical experiance as a cna/ma in nevada and ca. So I cannot fathom why I was refused admission. I feel that some reason should be given when a consumer is denied admission-even if it is a bs excuse. I would not refer a person with disabilities to this school. I will update this review if I get any information regarding my situation. read more

I went through the legal program at MTI, not only because it is ABA approved, it has small classes where I got the individualized instruction that helped me become a successful paralegal. I knew I was going to learn a great deal but had no idea how much! The deans are at the student's disposal for both day and night classes. This is important when an obstacle arises. The instructors are willing to stay late or come in early for a lab, if extra help was required. I went through a computer class and earned an A but wanted to know more. I had an IT instructor, that would work through lunchtime or stay after classes to explain my questions. Thanks to his patience and knowledge, as a legal graduate, I can put a computer together from parts and run almost any software program. This makes a paralegal more valuable. The whole staff and faculty seemed to be approachable, which as a 30+ year old student, helps to ease the nervousness of going back to school. The Career Services office took me through a mock interview, helped me with my resume and cover letters, gave me ideas of where to look for a new job but more importantly, helped me to look outside the box. After graduating, they sent my resume to a law firm in Sacramento and I was hired as a legal assistant within the first month of searching. The firm wasn't a good fit for what my expectations were, so I contacted the Career Services office again. They had me come in and talk about what my expectations were again. They sent my resume to an insurance company, where I accepted a position as an executive assistant in the Special Investigations Unit for Workers' Compensation Fraud. I couldn't imagine a more perfect position for me. This position is one where more paralegal duties are performed, than in the law firm as a paralegal. I think it is important and commendable that a college makes me feel like they care what happens to their graduates, after they have left. MTI made learning fun. When I am ready to change careers again, I just may go through the degree program for IT Network Administration. If you want to feel confident in your skills after completing a program and feel like you count, I highly recommend MTI. read more

Well I have been reading some of the reviews here and I am not surprised of any of the negative reviews given. I DID actually go to this school quit some time ago and they are very shady people. When I set up my financials with them I had benefits coming in from the military education program through my father and they made it to where my checks were sent to the school. When I called the VA and asked why my checks were being sent to MTI they advised that the school requested that. NOTE to all who may have these benefits available to them through their parents VA schooling benefits. The check DOES NOT have to be mailed to the school and if it is and/or they state that that is their policy, then find another school! Once I got that worked out and my checks were mine again (with the school getting the amount they were to get for the courses) I did not have many problems. Once I finished my courses I was completely neglected in them helping me get a job and the most that they tried to get me into was Admin work after 2 years of computer classes. I had to find my own work in the field. Oh and by the way.....a "diploma" in computers help with nothing...it makes you a glorified admin assistant! NOW, I just got off the phone with them again, thinking well let me see what they say about the kind of classes I am looking at now and give them a second chance. Maybe it was because I was young and viewed things differently. SO! I spoke with Jack. I asked him about the Phlebotomist courses that they offered at their school. I know for a fact that the state requirements for this line of work (NO MATTER YOUR PAST EXPERIENCE) is 3 to 3.5 months of training. The rest is done in the hospital with Intern hours. But I was informed by "Jack" that "THEIR" school requirements is that the Medical Assistant course (about 12000.00 more and another year tacked on) be taken with the Phlebotomy course so as to broaden the field of jobs. Hum...did I call about a medical assistant? NO I didn't, I wanted to know about the Phlebotomy classes. That is what I want to do not Med assistant. So I said to him, "Well, Jack, it is not required by the state that those classes are taken in order to work in that field, nor does it state that I need to have any experience in the medical field itself to do these classes." Since I will be paying for this out of pocket I want to make sure that what I do take (classes wise) is what I will need to get a job in the field. He proceeds to tell me that unless I have a letter of recommendation from someone I "KNOW" that works in a hospital stating that I know them and that they will do my Internship there without the Med assistant Program as well then they will consider having me at the school "Oh but wait....look, I am sorry there is a 6 month waiting list for that class!" For what class because if I am not doing the med assistant class and I only want the phlebotomy class how is there a waiting list? Hmmm I told "Jack" that is seemed that they were doing that more for the additional 12k in funds than that of a school who wishes to teach a person in the field they want to be in! So! FYI to all who want to look into the classes for this field. 1. IT IS NOT REQUIRED BY THE STATE FOR YOU TO HAVE MED ASSISTANT INCLUDED IN THE EDUCATION IN THIS LINE OF WORK. (SAVE YOURSELF THE 12K EXTRA) PHLEBOTOMY CLASSES ARE 3 TO 3.5 MONTHS ONLY!!! 2. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED BY THE STATE TO HAVE PAST EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD TO TAKE THESE CLASSES. 3. ONCE YOU ARE LIC. THROUGH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA YOU CAN FURTHER YOUR EDUCATION THROUGH (IF APPLICABLE) THE HOSPITAL YOU ARE WORKING FOR AND/OR EVEN THE HOSPITAL YOU ARE INTERNING AT! 4. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT THESE PEOPLE SAY BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THERE FOR YOU THEY ARE THERE FOR YOUR MONEY AND THAT HAS NOW BEEN PROVEN TO ME TWICE!!! As an additional foot note to this Michael Z. guy who keeps responding to peoples' posts who stated that these types of reviews are "here to proliferate and diminish the credibility of factual information". Well here is the facts. I DID go to this school so I have first hand experience! YOUR rep just tried to sell me an igloo in Alaska (so to speak) because, as you have in the past and still do today, tried to tell me that I have to do additional classes when I really don't. Then proceeded to tell me that unless I have an "exception" I could not do the class AND advises that there is a waiting list for courses you seemingly don't really have at that school! (i.e. 3.5 month Phlebotomy course) These reviews are just that & if you don't like what people are saying then get your act together & start being a school not a money pit for people! SOOO lets see what your response will be for this one! Will you let me hide my tat's too so I can go to school??? PS I know why they do this too! Email me direct if you would like my full story on how they continued to bill my VA benefits & student loans after I quit their school, that one is always a fun story. read more

Great place! I love to get my haircut here, it is a great family environment. Everyone is very polite and the soon to be hair professionals are awesome. read more

DON'T GO TO THIS UNPROFESSIONAL PLACE!!! They hire past students to teach that aren't even qualified to teach. I went for the Billing and Coding program and my instructor was a past student who was learning too as she was trying to teach me. I even had to teach her a thing or two! They hand you texts book that YOU pay for and expect you to cram everything in 6 weeks. They don't really care. If you want to gain knowledge and be successful, do not go to MTI. You will have a hard time finding a job after you are done. Experience is what employers are looking for. If you have no experience in the program you are choosing, good luck finding a job after you are done. Your certificate or degree means nothing. They have these two dummies that say they will help you find a job, but you don't hear from them ever after you graduate. Also, once you complete their useless programs and attend their ghetto graduation ceremonies, you better start paying them their money if you owe or else you will not receive your diploma . I am honestly embarrassed to say I attended MTI. I am not proud to put them on my resume. I didn't need to go there, as it was a waste of my money and time. Don't waste $14,000 or more to be taught by dummies. Go elsewhere! read more

I went there in 2008 for paralegal training. I was abused and humiliated repeatedly by an instructor named Ramona. I complained to administration on several occasions. My classmates also witnessed the abuse and complained to the administration, and still nothing was done. I was an excellent student and was on the dean's list despite the abuse. However, I wouldn't recommend this school at all. read more
