Reviews of Fred W Eberle Technical Center (College)

Alex Rueckert

I took the automotive technology course this past year. The program was advertised as being all hands on beyond the online safety course you have to take to get into the shop safely. We stayed on the computers all year, on a program called “CDX” which tried to teach us everything we need to know about fixing and diagnosing automobiles. There was very little to no hands on instruction. When we were in the shop, we had no idea what we were doing because no one would take the time to actually teach us hands on. We just had to wing it and use YouTube/google! When you would ask for help, you were made feel as if the instructor didn’t want to help because they would never take the time to sit down with you, and properly show you. I also forgot to mention, the assistant director (some old dude) called the police on me one day when I arrived at class. He though it was appropriate to scream his lungs off at me and lie to the police (proven to be lies, I didn’t get a ticket or anything). This program was pathetic & a huge waste of a year. I hope other will do their research before coming here.
