"Career assistance services are provided from the date of admission and continue beyond graduation. These services include planning careers, completing job applications, preparing cover letters and resumes, interview techniques, and more."
This is stated on the school website. Of course this is a false claim! When sat with the admissions rep before I decided to attend this college, I asked if I could transfer to a public university such as University of Central Florida. Her response was, " Of course honey, you can do anything with your degree after you graduate and we have a career placement representative that will help you find a job." Wow! Completely astonished and so was my mother which also was present.
After the 18 months, I did recieve my diplma. (an associates in criminial justice) Guess what? I was also sitting in the career assistance office, with a very unkind lady. She repeatedly said, " Sorry look for jobs yourself. I can't help you with that. All I can do is give you websites. Go on careerbuilder and search." I really wish I was exaggerating. I am not.
Three years later, I sit in front of this computer typing a rip off report because, not only can I do nothing with the degree and do not have a job, the school is not regionally accreditated. Lol Oh, and this is the best part. I have to go valencia and go for an A. A degree just so I can go to UCF. I know what your thinking, " Oh that's not that bad, some credits will transfer". Wrong again! The teaching methods at florida technical college are so horrible that, not only are they not accredited, but none of the general classes I took at FTC even come close to the classes offered at VCC. Which means, I have to start all over. From scratch.
I even have to take a computerized placement test in oder to be placed into a college level course. Basically, I am starting fresh like a college freshman out of high school! Not to mention the the 24k from the student loans. Isn't that refreshing? ;)
