Western Technical College - El Paso Campus - El PasoMichael 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.
El Paso Community College - Valle Verde Campus - El PasoBre G: Epcc has been extremely helpful to me for the time Iāve experienced there. However today a woman in admissions was yelling at me on the phone the second the call started. She gave me random information and I said maāam do you not need my id number to be able to tell me what I need? She continued yelling at me when I was just trying to figure out what I needed done. I work customer service so I felt like I was talking to a customer rather than someone in a professional environment. I get having a bad day but that was fully uncalled for.

El Paso Community College - Transmountain Campus - EPCC TM - El PasoFrank Tapia: My home campus is my favorite campus. Got tired of the bs excuses VV was giving my wife on how to drop a class so i suggested walking into here and asking for assistance. Took half an hour visiting 2 different depts and finally resolved. The VV should take lessons from TM because these folks help students
