ITT Technical Institute-Anaheim
If you want a REAL education avoid ITT tech

ITT is a fine example of a private for-profit education company that misleads students into 2-4 years of a worthless education. I am currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Science Program for Electronics and Communication Engineering Technology. Sadly, the instruction is about 10 years behind the current technology.

I am an Intern at Broadcom and I must say that the education at ITT has been less than helpful and so outdated that most of technology and equipment you are "trained" on is not even applicable to modern technology. The test equipment they have in their so-called "labs" is not even capable of supporting the Bluetooth, WLAN and FM radios that I work on at Broadcom, meaning their equipment is so old and outdated, whatever you learned on that equipment probably will not even apply to the new instruments you might use in a real job. None of the standard lab safety features such as ESD straps and benches exist in their labs. This is a major wrongdoing when you are teaching people how to work in an electronics lab. Many of the instructors are extremely nice and understanding of the students but lack the modern knowledge base and I assume teaching credentials to administer good, solid proper instruction.

I have had to teach myself as well as most of my classmates the material needed to pass our exams on my own. Their "job placement" is also a complete joke. If you want to spend $50k on an education to make $12/hr. Be my guest. If you want a real job making $50k, take the right road and go to a 4-Year university because the degree you get from ITT is literally laughed at and disrespected by the engineering community. Get out while you can but be forewarned, I also found out that MOST or NONE of the credits "earned" from ITT will transfer to a 4-Year University or much less a JC.

I met with an Admissions Counselor at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona to see where I stand for being admitted if I were to apply and he referred me to attend Fullerton Junior College for my transfer credits BEFORE they would consider me for admission.

It is very disheartening to learn that you just spent the last 3 years and almost $50,000 for absolutely nothing but a disrespected degree and a recommendation to start over. Now in order for me to get a real Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering, I need to attend Fullerton Junior College to make up the transfer units I need for admission to Cal Poly Pomona.

I have another 4 years of education at least before I am done with just a simple Bachelors degree. If you care deeply about your education, stay away from this school at ALL costs and if you are there and feel as if you are being cheated, there is a reason for that, because you are!
