All the teachers I have had in my two years are great. The advisors are great too. I see people blaming the school, but it's usually them. If you really want to get ahead, they will help you!

So far so good, I'm transferring from a different college to Gwinnett technical college, I would have to say if you have any questions or concerns by phone is not really that good to get it fixed, more like by email or if you show up at the one stop center. I had a concern on why some of my credits from the other college didn't transfer over, fast forward the next day, I check the banner website and there they are on my transcript, so problem resolved.

Fine place to go for classes, five stars for the teachers, but if you need help with ANYTHING else, expect there to be a fight. The one stop people are only knowledgeable on general questions, anything specific and they gesture to some back office and mumble that someone in there knows. And if you want to speak with one of the mysterious people in the back office FORGET IT. All of the staff make it seem like assisting in anything other than basic admission is a chore. And I don't even know why this campus owns phones, they never answer them. If you're unable to come in person the second you want something done, you'll probably never get it done. Awful service and communication.

At one point they told me i could not go there because i withdrew from a class 15 years ago. But the next year i go back and they accept me but then they say that i cant take the class i need b/c the requirement that I took part 1 of is 5 years old and I took part 2 last year. I know there are rules to these things. But they tell you one thing then later after you pay all the fees it's changed now.
I have attend 2 other technical colleges and a 4 year university, and I have never been treated so badly. They are not helpful and the staff does not seem to care about getting students the education they need. My husband also attended for 2 semesters it was a joke. He's a veteran and it took him 2 semesters and numerous days off work sitting in their office to even get started in a class.

They make sure you learn what is needed to be successful without all the unnecessary stuff. They are realistic about how you should take courses and help you plan a strategy that fits your needs. As a 30-something adult student, that makes a world of difference. GTC takes education seriously and expects students to do the same. You are given numerous resources to help you succeed as long as you are willing to put in the work. When they say a certain class requires three hours of studying per day to pass, you best study three hours a day.

I am trying to apply for a program at this school but they are making it extra difficult to transfer. Everyone gives me a different answer and some are extremely rude. Financial aid??? A nightmare.

5-star for my wonderful teachers. However, the administration of the school is grossly underwhelming.

This school is beyond unsatisfying. This is my first semester here after attending another college for a year and it's so different. The students at GTC do not look happy coming here. It's hard going to school when the people don't look happy. Also, the classes don't prepare you for what you need to know. It is all busy work and no actual hands on experience. You're better off going to a different school somewhere else.

I've been going here for a couple of years, and have had literally every teacher in the Welding program, so I have a good feel for their Welding Program as a whole. The teachers do the best they can with what they are given, but are vastly overwhelmed by the amount of students the administration takes. There is about 1 teacher for 40+ students, and the teachers have no time to actually instruct their students, spending the whole class period grading lab assignments, so I don't view this as their fault. After 2 years in their welding program and a mere 2 classes away from getting my Welding Diploma, I feel VASTLY unprepared for a career in Welding, as the teachers are so overwhelmed that they don't actually have the time to be "teachers", so it makes this program as more of a "qualification program", where you would get a diploma for what you already know versus coming here to learn how to actually weld. Don't get me wrong, I've learned a bit, but most of it has been learned from book work and the TAs. The TAs spend much of their time completing assignments given to them by the program to assemble their program (I.E. putting things together, setting up machines, etc) and while they do help at times, even they are overwhelmed by this horribly put together program that gradually is being constructed while students pay full price on classes that only actually last half a semester. Which brings me to another point, many of the classes contain FAR too much information and skill to be confidently absorbed in half a semester. Such classes as Tungten Inert Gas Welding (TIG) cram a ton of lab assignments that are near impossible to properly complete in the short 2 months (4 hours a day, 4 days a week) a class lasts.

I have a lot of respect for the teachers of this program for trying to be the glue that holds this program together, but it simply is a poorly put together program and it is very ambitious for the staff to think you would be ready for the working world of welding when you barely feel able to complete the assignments in the controlled environment of a school classroom.

My recommendation: know how to weld before entering this program, consider another school, or be prepared to pay for multiple semesters of the same class if you decide to go here.

My wife has also gone to school here for the Surgical tech program, and has made similar criticisms of that program as well.

I give the school 2 stars simply because the teachers do put forth a lot of effort and you can tell they care about helping you through this program, it is just simply overwhelming to both the teachers and the students alike.
