Wyotech Tech School - Pros and Cons

I'm the mother of a teenager who enrolled at Wyotech. Within days his teacher started objecting because there were concerns that his special ed needs might not be met as nothing was written into the contract to guarantee them. He decided not to attend at this time, but may decide do so later. Right now he's going to go to the community college for a few semesters to learn better reading skills and take part in the much less expensive automotive training program there.

We still believe that Wyotech offers a good automotive tech training program for motivated students. There will always be some unhappy students -- either because they are just predisposed to complaining all the time, or because they can't abide by the rules and get in trouble because of it.

I've asked automotive business owners about Wyotech as a means of getting into the industry, and they all without exception told me Wyotech would be a good choice for my son. It seems there's plenty of support and respect for Wyotech amongst employers.

The main drawback is the fee, of course. It was much more than I could consider co-signing on at this time and I was told that until my son is 24 or married I'd be financially responsible for his education. This too played a big part in our change of heart. We had to cancel the contract because I couldn't put my signature to it.

I started doing all this research about Wyotech since my son really wanted to attend. Since I'd already gathered a lot of resources on the web, I decided to put what I'd learned on this lens for others who walk this path behind me.
