Southern California Institute of Technology

Do not listen to people with 1 star comments. Obviously, these people expect the teachers to implant the knowledge into their head. The instructors will give you enough basic information to get started. Then it is really up to you to apply yourself. Understanding the theory then applying your knowledge with practice is key. If you are lazy, then don’t bother going to any school. If you are determined and have ambitions, then it doesn’t matter what school you go to. I have a degree in Computer Science, I’ve applied myself both at school and in the work place. I’ve have a job that I love and get paid well. No this school is not a scam. The only issue with this school are some of the disrespectful students that distract others who truly want to learn. SCIT should be a little more strict towards their admission.

I took the general electrician course here. Honestly, the teachers here are well versed in their field and are genuinely there to help the students. One thing I do want to point out is that the teachers are here to teach (what you are willing to learn) but in an extremely condensed amount of time. If you aren’t asking questions until you are satisfied, you will be left behind. People coming in with that straight-​outta-​highschool attitude and expecting skill and knowledge to emanate from the walls and cling to their presence as they walk in late and doze through lectures aren’t going to get too far. Before you apply, ask yourself if you are doing this for the grade or are you doing this for the knowledge?
The whole building is well kept and I see them cleaning the bathrooms more than twice a day.
The staff in general are all down-​to-​earth and friendly.
When it comes down to it, the only negative comment I can make about this school is the morning security guard who takes his job way too seriously. There’s been quite a few times he drove his van right up to us, honking and demanding the names of our instructors and if we were on break or not.
In conclusion, I would say I had a very positive experience here at SCIT and I would recommend it to everyone who is serious about gaining some insight regarding the electrical field.
Thank you, Mr Thompson, Gary, John, Mr Rodriguez, and GP! All of you have been a deep influence for me!

SCIT is a scam they should be included in the Corinthian Colleges Student Loan Forgiveness program. They really don’t care about your education or you acquiring a better job, all they want is your money and for you to sign the student loan applications. It’s money in the bank for them. I went through the Network Administration Cisco courses and 1 of the 3 instructors I had was really certified to train. The other two were NOT! We had a Microsoft Certification course and the instructor wasn’t currently certified to train a rock let alone a student in Microsoft. Stay away from this school… You’re better off taking on-​line courses for a fraction of the cost then going to a QUALIFIED certification test center. SCIT isn’t even qualified to certify you once you complete the courses that range from 11K to 19K dollars. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM.

I am glad I went to this school. The staffs are very friendly and the teachers teaches for everyone to succeed. The job placement service was great. Mr. George Garcia didn’t stop searching for a job for me until I finally got one. All in all I would recommend this school to anyone.

The classes here are just too short to actually learn anything. There were maybe two or three competent instructors when I attended here. Many were not qualified to teach the subjects that they were teaching, could not even pronounce technical terms out of their textbook. I had students in my classes that could barley read. They make you purchase textbooks that some instructors don’t even use because of the poor quality. The «job placement» is a joke giving leads off the internet that anyone with a computer could access and many of the leads given require much more experience than someone that is retraining for a career. Graduated and spent two years «interning» at an hospital and still can’t find a job. The owner and his dean are smug and arrogant and are just feeding off the federal student loan «gravy train». I don’t understand all the four and five star ratings for this place. This is a HORRIBLE excuse for a school. You are better off going to a traditional college or a community college, more bureaucracy you will receive a higher quality education.

During my initial 7 month program, I got hired at a position in my field of study. The school has really helped me excel in my «career», not just a job. I started at SCIT in 2011 and am almost finishing up with my bachelors. It helped me get out of retail and am now making over double what I was when I started! The classes are easy because the teachers really engage the students and give you a hands-​on learning approach. The teachers are not «tenure» driven, so you get a quality education from teachers who WANT to be there. The feedback of the students actually matter, which is nice. After each course, the students are given a teacher review paper in which you can fill out anonymously. By this method the «bad» teachers are weeded out rather quickly, leaving a peer approved teacher in his place. So far the counseling, placement, and financial services have been very accommodating. Like I said, placement was able to get me a position WHILE still pursuing my certificate. Since then, they have sent numerous leads, tailored my resume and gotten me to the point where I feel financially stable. I’m excited to graduate in the upcoming months and see what the future holds!

The staff, the teachers and the facility are top notch. I took the 8 month GE program and I learned quite a lot. The job placement is really solid, Lisa M is very attentive and ready to help you find a job in the industry. I am very happy with my choice for education.

SCIT was one of the Greatest decisions I’ve ever made. So many opportunities have opened up. Everybody from the teachers to the front office are so kind and helpful. I recommend it and would do it all over again.

SCIT has to be the best decision I’ve made in a very long time. The curriculum is excellent and there staff is very helpful. SCIT provides 80% lecture and 20% lab work. The instructors there are very helpful and genuinely very respectful. The staff at SCIT are also fantastic. Laura C. from Career Services is very kind and helpful. If you need help with anything, she is really cool. If I had the chance to do it all over again… I absolutely would.

Grate school worth every cent
The instructors are good and super helpful
I did the GE program and i want to go back to do the bachelors program

Great school for those who want hands on experience and for people with the patience to learn. The instructors are respectable, funny, easy-​going and only want the students to succeed. The school staff and the administrators are the best. Just follow the guidelines and if your having problems with paying your tuition on time, it’s best to tell them instead of ignoring the call slips and what not. They’ll work with you and give you the time you need to pay your tuition. They’ve been really nice.
As far as that goes, the school listens to the students. I was in a College math class and we had problems with the instructor, the school allowed us to write a review and complaints about this teacher. The following test day, our instructor decided to allow us to use our necessary tools to calculate tough equations with long numbers which was necessary and he became a better instructor.
School may not be for everyone but if you apply yourself and take a huge risk to invest in yourself, in the end it will be worth it because not only you are gaining new knowledge but most importantly you’re preparing yourself for a bright future.
I was a graduate from Bryman College 9 years ago and I was dissapponted from the lack of support they promised everyone. Other schools rank higher than most.

I hope this is not another Wyotech! Wheres the good Electrician schools @!?

Lab work!

Straight forward and a very hands on school. Location and staff are great.
