FROM WEB MASTER:
For the record, most complaints on this site are about poor classroom experience, lack of actual education, employers not accepting the ITT degree and the loan situation.
This person does not state what program they went through at ITT or in what field they are working.
FROM WEB MASTER
A bit too late.
Where you 8 years ago?
FROM WEB MASTER:
This is a case where an instructor went above and beyond ITT to help the students.
Intervention was required.
FROM WEB MASTER:
This person left a very long post.
To read the entire entry, visit this link on the EMPLOYEES page.
Thank you.
FROM WEB MASTER:
I wonder if this person is aware that the litigation is the result of a federal investigation.
FROM WEB MASTER:
Like all the positive comments, this one is also vague: what school? what degree program? using ITT loan?
Read comments below.
FROM WEB MASTER
Of course after the vague comment I point out, I get the standard, "work hard, try hard" comment.
Doesn't speak much about ITT however.
Suspicious to you like it is to me?
FROM WEB MASTER
Another vague comment that talks about anything other than ITT.
What field? What ITT programs? What associates program is so good that employeers will hire you before you graduate?
Says more about the person than it does about ITT to me.
FROM WEB MASTER
Always glad to have information like this passed along, no matter if others have.
Great to hear the news from so many different reporting sources!
FROM WEB MASTER
I agree with the above advice: call HR departments and hiring managers to ask what they think of having a degree from ITT
before you enroll (or prior to enrolling any school for that matter).
From: Web Master:
Keep us posted. Tell us about your current experiences with the classes.
From: Web Master:
Based on recent student and current employee posts, I'd say things have changed a lot in recent years.
You'll note that a vast majority of the posts on this site mention there are some good people who teach there.
The "pain funnel" would not have been passed around to the instructors.
I would like this person to encourage their former students and co-workers who were in the recruiting or administration offices to
post their comments about what was going on behind the scenes at that time.
From Webmaster
As usual, these positive comments give very little information: what is the location of this school?
And poor grammar.
"June 24, 2016
Dear Member Institutions and Colleagues:
The National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI) voted yesterday, Thursday, June 23, 2016 to send to the Senior Department Official (SDO) of the U.S. Department of Education a recommendation to deny recognition to ACICS. The SDO has 90 days to make a decision, based in part on the recommendations from the Committee and the Department staff, which also recommended a denial of recognition.
ACICS will continue to exhaust its opportunities to inform the SDO before the record is closed. As more information becomes available, it will be shared with all ACICS colleges and schools.
It should be noted that students, graduates, employers and other community members provided articulate and supportive testimony to the Committee regarding the value and quality of education received at ACICS colleges and schools. That support fortified the efforts to secure a favorable recommendation from NACIQI, and are much appreciated.
Regards,
Anthony S. Bieda
Executive in Charge"
From Web Master:
Many posts to this web site mention that they found several good instructors within the ITT-Tech institution and don't always blame the instructors.
Note: the following comment is from a CLOSED ITT school.
Why would a seemingly good school close?
Good day Chris,
I understand. Sending a message to the instructor does not trigger attendance unless it is an ATI (ask-the-instructor) message. This information should have been reviewed in your online training course. Ms. Robinson notified students about the holiday break and the importance of triggering attendance prior to/after the holiday break as this is the student's responsibility.
Also, there is no record of our system being down or having any issues with recording any student attendance. If this were a system-wide issue, it would have impacted other students as well, and it did not.
I did notice that you accessed an assignment on January 4th, this does not trigger attendance either. But, had you submitted that assignment it would have trigger attendance and it would have helped the matter. But, you did not.
Thank you,
Sincerely,

student reply...
This is not what was communicated to me! I was always told by student support services that when in doubt and you cannot upload an assignment, to send your instructor a message. I understand that your system did not register the message, that is not my fault. It could have not been a system issue. It could have been my issue, not sure.I received no further reply from them other that Financial Aid pestering me to get reenrolled in the school.
With that said, I indeed sent a message to the instructor which in fact should have reset my attendance. According to the dates that was stated by Erin, that in fact did reset my attendance. If it indeed did not, then the mistake falls back on the school the attendance should not have been affected by the Christmas break. I understand that she mentioned triggering attendance, but if we are on break, that should not be our responsibility.
On January 4th, I did access an assignment, but that is also the day that I sent Ms. Robinson the message about the system showing that I was almost at deferred attendance to reactivate the attendance cycle. So stating that she indeed sent a message to defer the attendance system to recycle, why then would she reply that it was probably a glitch in the system, as Erin reminded me of yesterday.
This conversation that we are having right now was indeed not supposed to happen according to Erin, as she said it would not help me in the least bit. I was instructed, you can check the phone logs if you record them, to talk more in the aspect of time constraints due to work. Which I did indeed state in my primary email.
I don't really care if your system did not show an "outage", I just know what I did and my track record of staying in attendance. I may not have the best grades and know I failed some classes, but I have always logged in to make sure my attendance is activated.
I get that you will not grant me access back into the class but know I am disappointed in your system and there are other issues that ITT has caused me and this just adds icing to the cake.
I will start the reinstatement process against my better judgement. But if there is any way you can keep that from happening, that would be preferable as it is apparent that this is important to me.
Thank You,
Chris Austin,

The above comment about graduates working for the FBI in technical roles: it is unclear if those graduates had other education,
outside of ITT, or received on-the-job training for the techincal skills required for their job.
The following comment contradicts the experiences of the vast majority on this web site and igores
the SEC Fraud Charges against ITT-tech.

Many students have had no assistance with job-finding, other than given a list of web-searches for jobs - and not always in their field of study.
You should keep all this in mind as you read the following...
