Vatterott College Warning



This is a warning to anyone considering attending Vatterott College. 
I attended their Computer Programming Associated Degree Program.  I
also have previously have taken programming classes at a community
college.  Vatterott did not live up to their promises.  Their
promotional literature stated that the classes would cover
object-oriented programming (OOP); it didn't.  The enrollment
counselor said the material taught was advanced and highly technical;
it wasn't.  I was told the instructors were experienced in the fields
that they taught; they weren't.  The student handbook said that each
ten week course would consist of at least 60 hours of lecture time;
they didn't.  In fact most classes included less than 25 hours of
lecture time.  The bottom line is that Vatterott College cost twenty
times more than the community college, but taught the exact same
material.

The local media has done a number of stories on Vatterott students in
their other programs (Medical Assistant, Veterinarian Technician,
Computer Technology) that had the same experience that I did.  Myself
and about a dozen other students have filed complaints with the
state's Department of Education and an investigation is underway.
