COMMON MISSPELLINGS
IT Technical Institute, ITTI, Technical institue
tony44: a solid tech school with lots of choice
sal: These guys have been around for ever! I remember the tv and radio commercials when I was a kid. Has anyone ever gone there? I would love to know how the education is.
philip: Yeah I went to the one in San Demas CA a few years back. It is a good course helped me get a job for sure.
vic: Yeah ITT Tech is pretty solid but it depends I think on where you do the course. Some campuses are better then others.
carissa: I just completed my degree online at ITT. Loved the flexibility.
Rennemk: It is a pretty decent school. Very expensive but alot of hands on. Just like any school, you get out of it what you put into it. I watched some cruise through and graduate with me but they are still not working in their field. Take advantage of every opportunity there and you will do fine.
SheepToTheFleecing: The people who sign you up lie about salary expectations and the schools reputation among employers. I have a degree from ITT Tech. I know nothing about my field. Hours and hours and hours of "class" and I know nothing about my field. Anti - ITT Tech websites disappear, but there is a new one called http://ittakestime.org. Also, there is some truth in the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITT_Tech If you are a fellow victim of ITT and you are reading this, leave a comment, and STAY STRONG. There are more important things than money.
jeff: I just took courses at ITT Tech and they really work well with your schedule.
