    The school is a joke. Don't waste your time unless you absolutely have to take classes here.

    This location is a joke. Completely disorganized and unprepared for anything. A four year old could manage this location better

    I love Durham Tech. Great value, good instructors, helpful staff. Ain't no UNC, but a good education without all of the argyle.

    I would NOT recommend TIY - particularly the Durham campus. Save your money and your sanity and…read morelook elsewhere if you are truly looking to learn to code. Just a few of the major problems IN MY OPINION: 1. TIY hires teachers with ZERO TEACHING EXPERIENCE even though they promise you are paying for in-person classes with someone who knows how to teach. Teaching is a complex skill in its own right and to assume that someone with industry experience won't crash and burn when struggling to explain abstract concepts is ludicrous. This "teacher" will take all of their students along for the ride and if they lack empathy and self awareness (not in abundance for software developers in general) they will not be too concerned about the implications for students who are forking over tons of cash for the experience. 2. TIY's main concern is about raking in the money (seriously how can the quality be anywhere near decent when they've opened 10 schools in one year?). Need more evidence of the corporate greed factor? Their top dog worked as a broker on Wall Street with Jordan Belfort (aka the Wolf of Wall Street) and brags that "Through that relationship, guys convinced me I could make a whole lot more money on Wall Street than if I finished school." Google Peter Barth and Jordan Belforth. This is who you'll be giving your money to. Beware. 3. They do not have your best interests in mind nor do they care about you - this is all a marketing ploy (see above). 4. Your opinions and particular needs as a student will be ignored and you will be demonized if you don't follow the campus agenda set by the particularities of the campus admin -- not your instructor. The admins wield all the power even though they are not developers and they absue that power quite freely. 5. The Durham space is WAY TOO SMALL for 45+ students - you will want to leave as soon as lecture is over if you require any peace of mind to focus. Can't they at least afford to upgrade the campus location with all the $$$ they rake in from students? Oh they don't care?! Right. Enough said. 6. The Durham CAMPUS INTERNET IS OUT OR EXTREMELY SLOW AT LEAST 50% OF THE TIME. Guess I gotta repeat myself : Can't they at least afford to upgrade the campus infrastructure with all the $$$ they rake in from students? Oh they don't care?! Right. Enough said. 7. It's a CATCH-22 for students - those who may be critical of the program are not able to speak out, for fear that it will impact their future abilities to land a job through TIY connections. Even with all the above, I learned how to code -- but due to my own efforts and working with fellow students. I hope that in the future pseudo-schools like this will be held accountable for their actions and not allowed to behave in such unethical ways. Supporting students and their success is the point of a school and sadly TIY doesn't recognize that at all. Instead prepare for "group think" and persistent bullying if you give them your money.

    To any parents that may be considering sending their kids to ID Tech technology camp, I would not…read morerecommend it. My son went there in June and though the counselors are polite and upbeat college students, we were less than satisfied with the overall quality of the experience. The Pros: - I did find the camp counselors energetic, upbeat, polite, and socially engaging with the kids. I do think that they do a good job of trying to make the experience a fun one and facilitate getting the kids comfortable with one another. - The UNC campus is a nice venue for the camp. The Cons: - The first part of the disappointment relates to the fact that even though we had signed my son up for a particular track (FPS - Unreal Development Kit), on the first day, they had him attending another track. My son, who is 12, brought it to their attention, but was told that he was in the right class and he must not have remembered what we had signed him up for. My wife talked to the camp director immediately after hearing that from my son the first night. After the camp director checked into it at my wife's request, it turns out that there were two kids (one being my son) with the same first name and last Initial. Since check-in is done by finding your name tag that displays only first name and last initial, the problem occurred there, so they actually had two campers attending the wrong tracks for the first day. It makes me wonder about those kids that have medications distributed while they are there? Do they ever get the wrong medicines? - The instruction format is not what we expected. We thought that it would be instructor lead tutorials, with hands-on exercises and mentoring as follow-up to those. As my wife and I asked more and more questions of my son in regards to the structure of the day, it sounds like it was largely self-paced discovery and you could ask the instructor / counselor any question you might have. I was very disturbed at the "Class Graduation" when the counselor said to my son, that "he heard that my son was doing some real cool stuff with his level, but he never got the opportunity to play through it". The counselors are good people and I do not intend to paint a picture otherwise. They are also young college students that are not trained instructors and are not necessarily expert at the topic they are teaching. Considering the cost of the camp, the program that my son attended did not provide anything close to a good value. For any parent considering sending the kids to this camp with the hopes that it will further their technological knowledge of game development and the software tools associated with it, you will be far better off buying a good PC, downloading the tools for free (www.UDK.com, www.Unity3d.com, www.yoyogames.com, etc.) and going to YouTube to watch the ample tutorials there. Once my son is old enough (needs to be a rising ninth grader) we will be sending him to the game development camps at Wake Tech at ~ 1/3rd the cost.

I loved how, at the end of the week, there was a "diploma ceremony" where the counselors spoke at length about each individual child and their contributions to the camp week. It was a very positive experience for my child. Thank you iD Tech!

I never had a problem with my teachers and staff always look out for me and when I need help they were always there. The office staffing were pretty much up-to-date and helpful. I used to go here and I really appreciate everything everyone has done for me. Miller Motte was My favorite college and also family.

    More Cons then Pros;…read more Cons; WORST comunication and professionalism I have EVER come across!!! I attended the Miller-Motte CDL program in Fayetteville, Nc. July 5th 2016 threw July 28th 2016. Here are some MAJOR issues and concerns I dealt with; It started with my first phone call to the 800 number. The girl I spoke with could not tell me any info on the CDL program but my main concern at that time was if they except the G.I. Bill or not. She could not tell me. She physically wanted me to drive to the campus to meet with the CDL adviser Fred Widner to find out if they even except the G.I. Bill. Hopefully this saves you a trip... They DO except it. Next; DO NOT PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE D.O.T. PHYSICAL!!! When you meet with Fred Widner he will pump you full of info but will most likely forget to tell you not to pay for your physical like he did for me and many other students. A week before I started school I called and emailed Fred Widner to try to find out what I needed to do for my DOT physical. I reseved no response from him or anyone at the main campus. So after serval failed contact attemps I again had to physically go to the campus where I thought I could receive the correct information from Fred. When I arrived at the MMC capus Fred was not there. I then explained the situation to the lady who helps with enrollment and she told me that if I paid for the DOT physical I would get reimbursed. THIS WAS NOT THE CORRECTED INFORMATION! A week into the program I found out I was NOT supposed to pay for the physical and i was supposed to wait for an email with billing information that you would give to the medical examiner's office to bill the school. I end up reseving this email a week and 3 days after I had already started class witch is obviously to late. Fred Widner said he would help me get my refund back but when ever I checked on the status of my refund I could not get in contact with Fred via several emails, phone calls and voice mails. Its as if he was avoiding me. Fred's lack of comunication and professionalism is what put me and many other students into this situation in the first place. He could not take 2 minutes out of his day to email or call me back to let me know the status of my situation. So now im out $110 because Fred Widner could not be professional enough to contact me back but when I physically went to his office he had time to be on Facebook. When i brought it to his attention threw an email this is what Fred Widner replied; "Dominic I was out of the net for a few days and working on Ft. Bragg as well as conducting my daily interviews in and out of the office. There are no communications issues on this side as I let you know that once I found out what the delay was I would contact you." If Fred was out of the office for a few days then a courtesy automated email should have been established along with a courtesy automated voicemail informing students of his absence. As long as Fred thinks "There are no communications issues on this side" This problem will never get resolved. Fred Widner is really giving the Miller-Motte CDL program a bad reputation. PROs; The two BEST driving instructors Arture Flores and Michael McDougall (aka. Mac.) These two instructors are outstanding, professional and respectful. They really care about there students, trucks and fellow instructors. they get a 5 star rating I hope this helped future CDL students. Sincerely, Dom Castro
