Western Technical College - El Paso Campus - El Paso Michael J: HVAC program from a recently separated veteran. Pros: The school is clean, plenty of things to learn during labs, most instructors are knowlegable and are helpful with tips for the workforce, they have security and its in a gated location. Staff is friendly. Mr Gruber and Mr Casas are great program directors who can be very helpful. Cons: This is in a heavy traffic location due to it being next to an entry/exit point through the border to Mexico, leave early to get there on time. The staff helped me with loans and whatnot but are slow and not always available. Every instructor uses Canvas differently, causing confusion with assignment dates or releases or even trying to get into contact with them. 80% of the time not only did my classmates speak in Spanish but the instructors did as well. Ive had to ask them to repeat or elaborate on what information I was missing out on, making my time spent in class not so pleasant. I understand helping billingual students but when it takes away from others who dont understand it can be frustrating. Class time is where we just read from a power point, took a quiz and got little explanation on the topic at hand. Labs were okay, plenty of units to work on, some broken but we learned a bit even if we were left to figure it out amongst ourselves. Weve waited an extended period of time to recieve our tools for unknown reasons. Some instructors were new and we had to relearn certain things as because we were taught the wrong way the entire class. Thw night class had about 10 students while the morning had almost 18 to 20. It felt that there wasnt enough equipment for all of us to get our hands on for experience. The HVAC workforce in el paso is over saturated and they dont offer much even with a degree, I could have probably applied with no experience and recieved a dollar or two less hourly pay. The cafeteria food is terrible, no they dont speak English either. I feel like Ive wasted my time, at leat i gave it a try but now Im in debt. Your experience here may vary.
