Within my second semester of studying Automotive Technology, I’m more than happy to say that the knowledge I have gained has helped out a lot. The assignments that are assigned, shop participation, and hands-on learning all make a huge impact on your learning experience here. I can say the instructor treats you like a part of his family and is very organized when it comes to grades. If you plan on planning a career in Automotive Technology, you’d definitely excel in this organization

Finishing my final semester in automotive technology Mr.Rodney is a great instructor with many years experience in his field. Started very novice by my second semester was tearing down and rebuilding a V8 engine. All my assignments for each semester was made available thru Canvas some students who didn't want to navigate online to retrieve their assigned book work Mr. Rodney would look at his grade book tell what is due and when always willing to work with students no matter the issue they would encounter. Book work in conjunction with hands on in the lab is crucial to building automotive skills. Mr.Rodney helped many students find jobs either thru internship or by recommendation as they come to final semester.The Dean was very supportive she would come down to the shop area check in on students and what projects they were working on ask questions about the trade they are learning.

Took the EMT class they offered last August by Ace4EMS, it was awful! It was the most unorganized crap show I've ever witnessed. I totally wasted my money on it, plus all of the supplies I had to purchase. We started out with 25 students. By the time they finished, I think only 11 of them stayed. A lot of us got tired of the BS and dropped. It wasn't worth staying there until 10 o'clock at night, not learning anything. Apparently they had received a bunch of grants to put on the class, I wish the people who gave them the grants could have seen how it went. They bought all this fancy stuff and new CPR dolls that were supposed to be electronic or something, but they never even bothered to hook them up while I was still going. Don't know what they did towards the end. I finally got tired of wasting my time. A few of the students who were medics/ firefighters finally started to try to form study groups in hopes that we could possibly try to teach ourselves something, but I don't know if they ever done it or not. We had one paramedic that would come volunteer his time and help teach us whenever the instructors wouldnt be there, and he was great. I learned more from him than anything. The class was only $250 but I still hate I wasted that money. I plan to try to take another class, but this time I will go some place professional.

This is a sorry excuse for a school. I came here in hopes to achieve my degree in mechanics but the teacher was very unprofessional and unorganized. Didn’t post any assignments until the end of the year. I attempted to talked to the dean but she bs the whole situation. The teacher lied about all of it and the dean would feed his bs. A waste of my year and money. Wish I never would have enrolled. Biggest regret of my life. Would NOT recommend, especially if you’re going for automotive technology.

I’ve been at this campus for the last 2 years, and I can say that I’m very satisfied with the instructor, the courses, and the staff. Anytime I’ve needed help they have always been really helpful not only for the course I’m taking (automotive technology), but for any out side stuff I needed like financial aid, and class setup. I highly recommend taking this course, and I highly recommend the instructor Rodney Texada.
