IEP middle school student received a denial letter due to “an unprecedented number of students submitted applications for admission”. So.. little back ground, tech centers were born to serve students that do not thrive in a traditional educational environments allowing them to work with their hands (kinesthetic). If these IEP students are made to compete with non-IEP students for these “limited” spots, then how can they ever truly have a fair shot?

My review is a 1 star solely because of my teacher, Mr. Ireland. Because of him, my education taught me most of what I needed to learn. He tries his absolute hardest to make our schooling worth it with what he has, as the school doesn’t supply him with much curriculum or resources. There isn’t really a curriculum you follow, you kind of just go in the shop and assume this is what you should be doing. BCTC advertises a “new state of the art welding program with experienced instructors”, and coming from a student who was thrown into an absolute mess after the old teacher left, don’t fall for that statement. For paying such a large chunk of change you would expect to actually get the curriculum and teaching you thought you were paying for but sadly you end up getting the bare minimum. Personally if you can afford going to another school for welding I highly suggest you do. I’m very shocked this school thinks their welding and fabrication program is something great, but truly they are oblivious to just about everything. The administration does not care to listen to your concerns or complaints. Nothing will change under that management. Extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with BCTC’s ways of handling things and teaching. UPDATE: As I am now graduated, I want to stay as professional as I can but I believe this needs to be said as it very negatively impacted the last 4-5 months of my education at BCTC. My Theory teacher I had was having relations with a student. It was brought to the schools attention and they did nothing even though they, themselves said student and teacher relationships have to be “strictly professional”. It was affecting the rest of the students education as that was the reason it was brought to them, but it was no concern for them to look into. Your education is no concern to them as long as they are getting your tuition. Thank you BCTC for a lousy 2024 year. I will make sure I recommend anyone and everyone to go to any other school for welding than here.

I can’t speak to other programs at this school but I can speak to the welding and fabrication program. There are many issues that are too extensive to include in this review. From the lack of a curriculum and supplies to the lack of concern or desire to address any issues brought to the school’s attention I would highly recommend researching other schools for your training and education.
