Comments on: Is Lincoln Technical Institute a good college to go for automotive? http://www.cargearusa.com/blog/is-lincoln-technical-institute-a-good-college-to-go-for-automotive/ Mon, 21 May 2012 16:38:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Jack http://www.cargearusa.com/blog/is-lincoln-technical-institute-a-good-college-to-go-for-automotive/comment-page-1/#comment-8603 Jack Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:33:22 +0000 http://www.cargearusa.com/blog/is-lincoln-technical-institute-a-good-college-to-go-for-automotive/#comment-8603 I must admit that I know nothing specific about the program itself. I did cal and got some very high pressure salesman that very reluctantly told me tuition was $7 per quarter and it takes 3 quarters to complete. He would not give me, over the phone, percentage of graduates that had jobs on graduation. The other thing didn't like was he kind of implied that graduates go to the BMW training program. This is NOT a given they only take a small number of graduates from the programs the recognize. Contrast this with AUTOMOTIVE TRAINING CENTER, also in Philadelphia area, not nearly the high pressure. their graduates can also apply to the BMW STEP program. In addition they have a relationship with the Automobile Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia. The rep I spoke to said the he thought they placed 94% of grads, which sounds high to me. Their tuition is $15,000 per year for 2 years but there are ADAGP internships you might get. All in all they impressed me more than Lincoln did. But again this is all very expensive training. Have you considered a Community College? Community College of Philadelphia has a program And you can find others by using the College Navigator Check with AUTOMOTIVE TRAINING CENTER to see if any community college courses might transfer. The thing about a community college AA degree is that you do take the breadth requirements which shows employers you are a more rounded individual and will help you get jobs<a href="http://www.doggydisease.com/cushings-disease-dog.htm"> Jack</a> I must admit that I know nothing specific about the program itself.
