I went to BCTI in 1997, and I am now paying over $10,000 dollers in student lones for it.
I was a young single mom on welfair just what they like to have in there class rooms. My friend and I went down there and signed up in hopes of a new career. I am not mentaly challenged or a felon as I have read in some of these reports. I am a bad speller so please for give me for that one.
When we went to sign up for the classes we were promised a brighter future by all who we spoke to in the Fife office.
They talked about "SURVIVAL JOBS" and had big bords all over the office with small odd jobs you could get anywhere and they told you that if you got one of these jobs, went to school and when you finnished you would have the job of your dreams.
They said that there were people that were hired to Microsoft from the school. I know better now. I see these people standing out side of the local welfair office with there clipbords in hand shouting that BCTI is the be all end all in computer schooling. Yeah right. Tell that to me and my friends that went and we will laugh in your face for going.
My husband heard from someone that there was a class action lawsuite for BCTI and that is how I stumbled apon this website.
I wish I would have went to a community collage, I at least would of had some kind of AA behind my name. And when emmployers look at your school they don't have to stife a snicker when they look at your resume. Oh that is the other thing I did learn from them, but nothing I could not have learnd in a book bought at a bookstore.
I am not mad or fummimg over the loss of my education, just the money I now have to payback. I have never payed on my student lones because I never got one of those fabuless jobs they promased.
The way I see it looking back on it now is that if you were cute and could type realy fast you would go far in the school and the time that they put into you.
There were some teachers there that I did like and I rember them fondly. But others I remember that would pay you no attion unless you were there favorites in class. One of the teachers almost quit after my orginal class went through. I guess they gave him such a hard time and clamed sexual harrasment on the man he almost left. I never saw any of that when I was there.
I had a hard time when I went there and I didn't even finnish all my work and they still passed me. When I did graduate I got a nice coffie mug and a notepad that said BCTI on it. Oh and a worthless piece of paper to hang on my wall. I think I should have used it for fire stater and it would have been better used.
I now know why DSHS does not look at BCTI as an acredited school, they should be put out of bussiness and all exconerated from there school lones. I hope there is some way to shut down this place. Because everyday there are new students arriving there with a dream of a better life for them and there famlies.
Young mothers and father, people who have been laid off from there jobs that they have had for over 20 years and find there skills need to be updated. And that is what BCTI prayes on the poor and the people who do have some tipe learrnig disabilaty. They are no salvation in the big ocean of life. Just a small lifeboat with a big hole of debt in it.
I tell anyone and everyone that will listen to me! Don't go to BCTI!!! They are a wast of time and money. Go to the local collage (communaty)
I am now 30 and a stay at home mom of 3. But when I left there I had big dreams of a lurctive futeure in some big company that they never deliver. All that I have learnd is from the other office jobs I have had. And I figured that one out while I was there, I stayed in hopes of getting more info out of phase one and two. And now I have just read that the campus that I went to is no longer there. Oh well they will reep what they sew. Hopefuly if we all can come together we can put theses people out of business. I could go on about the out dated materals they were teaching us and the favoritusm that went on but why? Everyone who went there knows what the real truth is about BCTI and it is our job to tell as many people as we can so no others will get burned and swimming in debt.
