Excellent fast track Vocational school that is fully accredited. A bit expensive, and the spirit of for profit can be felt here. I believe they are of very good quality if you are looking for a trade, and they become great if you are not trying to take years and years to get your degree or certifications for a few extra coins.

when you don’t decide to be apart of their program, they will reach out to you countless times. I’ve gotten calls, texts, emails, even letters in the mail- they will literally reach out to you using multiple different numbers to try to get you to respond. Idk if the lady receives commission per enrolled student under her name…but that’s what it looks like. The consistent reaching out is annoying at this point. I decided not to go through with the program because 1- the gentleman that was my financial advisor was kind of dismissive and snarky. And 2- the cost actually does sound incredibly insane. Seeing as they have these programs at community colleges. Also- for the comment of “I got a computer out of it too….” You don’t just get a computer lol…that’s apart of the cost for your tuition. Which is like $35/36,000. Have a great day and leave people alone!

Lincoln Tech is a great school that provides students with amazing opportunities to learn, grow, and prepare for their future. It is clear that the staff truly wants every student to succeed and does everything they can to provide the support, guidance, and resources needed to reach their goals. I would especially like to give a special thank you to Mr. Lyons, Mrs. Rudolph, Mr. Ortiz, Mr. Sexton, and Ms. Denise, the director. They have been exceptional role models, teachers, and mentors throughout my time at Lincoln Tech. They have guided me in the right direction, encouraged me to keep moving forward, and provided me with the right resources and support to help me become successful. I am truly grateful for everything they have done for me. Their dedication, patience, and willingness to help have made a meaningful difference in my life. This school has given me great opportunities, but having educators like Mr. Lyons, Mr. Ortiz, Mr. Sexton, and Ms. Denise to guide and believe in me has made those opportunities even more valuable. I will always appreciate their support and the positive impact they have had on my journey.
