Why did BCTI change it's marketing to Phase II? The summer of 03, advertising materials reflected that BCTI would help students prepare for their A+ & Network + exams. Why are all the manuals for Phase II out of date or outright WRONG? Why can the curriculum director say at staff training sessions, "You know, we really only need to teach pro grow and keyboarding... that's all the employers want." or the other favorite, "We're creating generalists, not specialists..." Well, in my opinion, BCTI creates neither. Why were people who had their degrees in choir responsible for developing learning materials, especially Phase II Materials? Materials should have been developed by people who had legitimate training and or field experience. Why was the job of developing the Phase II program given to unqualified men and women who didn't know what they were talking about? Why were the new web design CDs created by someone who obviously didn't understand how to design lessons plans or identify a learning objective if you wrote it on the board for him? Why was a woman who came back from maternity leave given a job beneath her previous job - and why was her job given to a church member? Why are there so many church members employed by BCTI? Why are there UNQUALIFIED instructors - people without degrees, without professional certifications, without true job experience teaching? People should be going through the qualifications of some of the staff. Why are the Career Services Offices sending BCTI graduates to temp agencies to find a job???? Isn't that their job? Oh, no, their job was to sucker more people into Phase II. Why is the company so secretive about staffing changes? Everything is very hush-hush and it is frowned on to even speak the person's name after they are summarily thrown off property. Why are people who can't read in Phase II? Doesn't that go against the mission statement of enabling "Qualified men and women"? What is qualified - unable to read, unable to follow simple directions? Why was there such opposition from the corporate office about changing classroom exercises, etc. for the BETTER? Why is the company so UNWILLING to change curriculum to truly reflect "the needs of today's employers?" So many whys, NEVER any answers. I am glad to be gone.
