Title: My ITT Technical Institute Experience [website]
Date: 2008
Author: http://myittexperience.com

An odd little website. I submitted a comment asking the author to join us. :P

Be sure to file any complaints you have with ITT through your local Better Business Bureau. Even though they probably won't resolve your complaint, the total marks from multiple filings to the B.B.B. will send a message. Be specific in your complaint to the B.B.B. with Names of ITT personnel, Course Titles and events.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
The classroom content did not always match the syllabus
Most of the instructors were not qualified to teach their subject
(as a result of the above two we did not learn what we were paying to learn)
Pointing out poor instructors and bad curriculum did not get any response or changes


Summary:
They promised training which was not delivered.
They promised a diploma and only after generating complaints did they send it out to me.
They promised job search assistance which was not possible due to the lack of training.

March 2009
I am an adjunct instructor with ITT, and I totally agree with your comments. I am preparing to leave them after teaching for only a few quarters. I am an ethical person and have violated just about everything I stand for in the few quarters I've been with them. I am highly qualified to teach the courses, especially considering the real world aspect ITT advertises. The following are the problems I have with the school.

They "expect" grades to be inflated so that students can pass - most raw test scores are below 50%. I did this based on "coaxing" from the dean and chair with their sob story about how the students have families and jobs and can't always do the required work. I have been "coaxed" into marking students present when they were really absent - to keep an automatic drop from occurring. I have received POOR AND INCOMPLETE materials to work with, then been told I had to cover ALL of ITT's objectives, then told I have to BE SELECTIVE WITH THE CONTENT because it's above the students' capabilities. The brighter students are mad because their 4.0 is competing in the job market with the 4.0 of someone who can't read a part number off of an IC. I could go on for several pages, but I'll end here saying that the students are not getting a proper education. By the way, the school loves me as a teacher ... they have no idea I'm leaving.

The only real students attending ITT Tech are the ones that shouldn't be there.

[update comments for tha one - O :mrgreen: ]

ITT Tech is a JOKE!!
They are slick talking, make you feel like their school is the best, and offer all these great opportunities. But here's what they really have to offer: $400 a credit hour. That's over $36,000 for an associate or $72,000 for a bachelor degree. This is why they don't publish their tuition costs on line. You have to go to them in person just so they can con you in to going there
