Hey, i was looking through the mail the other day and i got a letter from the ohio thechnical college with a serious scholarship offer. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this school because i never heard of them before. I wanna know if its worth spending my time to go there. If anyone has any info on this please let me know, I really appreciate it

Never heard of it. Where is it? City? Link?

 

I have not heard of it either.

 

Here is a story from Auto Restorer Mag.

The school is in Cleveland, Ohio near where I live. See link.

Its in Cleveland. Here is a link to their site ohiotechnicalcollege.com. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about their reputation. I dont wanna waste my time with a school that has a bad reputation. They have a class for vehicle restoration so i might see if i can do that

 

Read the article I posted above

 

I have 3 friends who currently attend there, they seem to like it but they said all the kids have tuners, imports & mini trucks and thats what they mostly work on...not really anybody into hot rods or kustoms...I've going for my teaching degree here in Michigan but have been looking at schools to get into classic car restoration mostly just so I can learn for fun

 

you make it sound it just showed up in the mail, why did they send it to you on the west coast?

 

As someone who will be paying off student loans for a degree that is essentially useless until I am old and gray, let me be the first to say that a serious scholarship to a school that will give you the tools you need to succeed in your chosen career path is nothing to sneeze at.
Even if they only work on tuners and the like, is there anything else there that interests you. Last time I checked, Diesel Mechanics were in demand all over the place and make a cubic buttload of money.
I wish I had had an opportunity like that or at least someone to tell me to think a little bit farther into the future about things like that.

 

i have friends that attended there. they are all working making good bucks. they have a good job placement gig going with needy employers country wide.

better book your flight, if you need info on good neighborhoods to rent flop house..... pm me

 

i have a couple friends going there for restoration and custom paint and i have had one that went to there motorcycle program all have said its a good school and liked it might be worth checking out

 

Are we talking about Ohio Diesel Tech?

 

Well, if this is, I would say don't waste your time....was there recently and it is a mess....high turnover with instructors, cars missing parts, broken promises, 6 months into 3+ years, motors dropped etc...now I can only comment on the bodyshop/resto side of the school....maybe the mechanical side is different....but what I saw was a body shop school training kids how to be the normal wrong type of body man.....

 

yes Don the O D T sucks....the automotive end is great. plus he can hang with S D's if he moves out here ! my mechanic came from O D T....had to re-train him

 

my son went there got a job at rollins rent a truck in braintree ma been there 8 years penske bought them a few years back he runs the shop 3 to 11. you get what you put into it. i told him to get his cdl while he was there which he did
