Vatterott-college deviant practices, dihonesty, false garentees Tulsa Oklahoma
this is a letter to warn those currently interested in attending vatterott in tulsa, oklahom. my complaint starts with the very first day at vatterott.
i set an apointment to come in and look over the classes i would be takeing, what they did not tell me was i would railroaded thru the entire process.
i filled out all imortant paperwork, loans were drawn, and all enrolled, i thought that i had made the right choice,to start the next chapter in my life,
vatterott made promises that day, which they could never fullfill in the time i would be at scool there, they said i would be taught be 2 licensed contractors and to find out tony sheeley, was not a contractor or even a registered apprentice, really a shock, but i took 2 full 10 semesters, with out cracking a book, these books were made by vertterott, you had to buy these books, but you would not use them. toney said they were trash and he personally would not be useing them.
i will say we had plenty of power point material, and we got to go into the shop, we finished the 1st 2nd semesters with a passing grade, i can only attest for these conditions for one semester but others have had to for longer.our instructor was a nice man, but was not capable of awnsering ?s, he was befuddled most the time with out a sense of direction, the intructers would stand before the class and go over test awnsers from the actual test we would be takeing, and thru several times we were left with noone but the hall moniter, who im sorry to say was not capable of teaching, ive been cursed at by the staff, and i was even thrown out of school at the end of my 3rd semester when they fould out i was transferring to wti in tulsa.
for the 3rd semester we were charged for books that were not used. we did nothing but sit and twiddle are thumbs, the only sense of direct we had was the course sylabus which was never ever followed, i am currently asking for my last semester bacl plus the cost of books that were never used, but other than that i would just as well was my hands of it, and hope vatterotter would do the right thing i do hope others hear of this, and understand i wanted the best education, i almost 32, i did not go to go back to school simply to get a grade, i wanted to learn something that noone could take from me,
but i still had to learn, and that was only gonna happen at another school i do hope vatterotte upper management plays a more active role in supervising their employees, mabee things would change for the better, i wish vatterote and all its students the best

Michael, it's sad to see that Vatterott is still the same way I remember it.
I graduated around 2006 with my AOS and still can't get a job in wich i went to school there for. I first started out with Visual Basic.net. At that point my experience in learning was fun, clear and concise. We used all our books,though we did not use all the material in those books because of time restraints, and we earned our grade. Every thing went down hill from there.
First the staff kept comming in and out of the proverbial "rotating door", all of them very unhappy with the way Vatterott was doing buisness. This went on for my entire time there.
Most of my teachers completely lost interest in teaching, and I spent most of my time in class just setting there trying to learn the material on my own. When the teachers were involved, it was only the bare minimum of instruction. When it came time for the test, they did give out answers to what was on the test. The only exception was a teacher there named Chris Black who was a wonderful teacher, and really the only reason I stuck it out and went for my AOS.
In the database class, even the teacher couldn't get anything to work on the computers. In the photoshop cs2 class i noticed that they were putting the photoshop program on the computers using a CRACK key generator. In the video editing class, there wasn't even a teacher to teach us anything. Most of the books that were issued, that we have to end up paying for out of our own pockets, weren't even used.
There comes a time when the loan companies ends up over paying the school. Now you can either sign that money back over to the loan company or keep it to use for things like helping you out for gas back and forth, etc. I decided that I would like to keep the money to help me out in gas and extra books that would accually help me out in class. I kept getting the run around from Vatterott for months on end. At one point they were not even going to give the money to me. I had to raise such a stink about it over and over that they finnally just gave in. Not only did they give the overage to me but to the rest of the students that were owed theirs.
I almost forgot, at one point when i was talking to a tec teacher about coupling my programming skills with computer tec skills, he just look at me and said "Anywhere but here".
Needless to say my overall experiance at Vatterott was a nightmare. I wish I would have writtin this years ago to save people like poor Michael the pain and fustration of going to that place.

I attended the OKC branch it 1999. I went for Electrical. The first 2 semesters we had a good instructor. I learned a lot. Then the guy quit. then the next semester we got a guy that didn't teach and just had us read the books the entire class time. No teaching. I got fed up and quit.
I wish to this day that I had gone straight to a Lawyer. Because I hve had to fight the Loan all these years. They will make you pay that Loan. And all you get are a Box of tools and Books.
Big time Rip Off!
