About
Ohio Technical College, located in Cleveland, Ohio, was established in 1969 and was known as Ohio Diesel Mechanics School. The school occupied the second floor of a building in the warehouse district, but as popularity for the program grew, the school moved to a larger location and added diesel automotive programs to its curriculum. By 1984 the school had added a full automotive service program and experienced continued growth., resulting in one of the many name changes the school has experienced in its history. In 1994 the school began offering associate degrees, resulting in the current name of the school, and assisting students in pursuing managerial positions. Today the school is continuing its growth with the development of new programs and a partnership with BMW.

- I can only tell you about the auto/diesel but most instructors are out of work mechanics who needed a job. They have no teaching experience and are just waiting for a better job to come along. A typical day in the classroom is taking turns reading out of your book. You might also watch YouTube videos that probably wont relate to anything your trying to learn. If, and it's a big IF you get an instructor that actually cares and has teaching experience then you may learn if your not held down by your classmates. Some of the people who attend are lucky to read at a middle school level. As for your hands on experience its going to be out of date and wont amount to much really. The most important aspect of being a mechanic is being able to troubleshoot and sadly you will learn none of that in school. So if all of this sounds like its worth your 30k feel free to sign up.

- OTC is NOT the school for your child. As a parent, I can tell you and warn you to DO YOUR HOMEWORK, and follow your gut!!! This school is all about appearance. They will take your money and if you complain or question something they will throw your child out of school. This school is GREAT at using intimidation to make your child feel in adequate. Trust me, DO NO send your children to this school!

- OTC is not what it proclaims to be. There are a lack of dedicated instructors with no agenda they must follow. Watching unrelated movies is not what these students are paying their good money for. Classes should be organized with relevant information to prepare for their careers. Also, they need TOOLS to work with. How can they prepare if they don't have adequate experiences? Do not fall for their family approach, as they do not care. they are just concerned about becoming rich themselves.
