Man, I came in on July 15th for the Wisconsin Decision Driver course ....and was just a tad let down.....they had the big skid pad torn up because it was being re-done and re-paved. So we had to do the program on a much smaller parking lot...which (dont get me wrong) was a blast; but just not nearly as cool as expected

So large it could be confused with a small city! Trainers and programs here are excellent.

The teachers are amazing and show that they actually care about you.The school is beautiful and they have maps on the walls everywhere, so if you dont know where to go you can find it easily.

In high school I was blessed with the opportunity to go to this school for free with a scholarship I am so so grateful for. I’ve worked so hard to try my best to succeed in getting a degree and reaching my goals, but due to staff at this school my goals have felt impossible to reach. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few wonderful teachers who I was very fortunate to get to have and they taught me so much and have helped me in my goals, but some teachers were rather lazy and could care less about how their students do. They are only in it for the paychecks :/ not to mention I have tried multiple times to get help through counseling and advising and I was given incorrect information and I had asked for help signing up for classes as I was new to a program and the woman I was working with forgot to add a class to my schedule.. a needed class for the semester. My program must be taken in a correct order and the course I didn’t get to take was only offered once a year.. I am now an entire year behind on getting my degree at this school. When I found all of this out I did try to find an alternative, but I was told it would not be possible for me to start the next semester and just take the class late. All over a 1 credit class :/ this isn’t the only time I have been given false information through this school, there is a pattern of this happening that myself and others I know have experienced.I gave 2 stars because I am very grateful for the few teachers I had who really cared about educating their students and making sure they had good futures, all the staff in the veterans department whom I’ve come into contact with, and the help staff/volunteers in TLC have provided.I am still trying very hard to reach my goal in getting a degree, but I often regret not going to a different school.

I really enjoy going to college here. The staff has been pretty good about masks, sanitizing, and social distancing, but several students havent.

Would have given a better score, but as given bad information on how to use my GI bill. Ended up paying more than I should have out of pocket. In the end I used it... Just not at FVTC.

Excellent place to further your education! The staff has and will go above and beyond to help in anyway they can! Very dedicated instructors and extremely affordable in comparison to a 4-year.

I took IT classes and thought the instructors were genuinely interested in teaching. The general classes here might be easier for those who want a classroom setting versus lecture halls. I feel that the this school offers a great value when compared to a University (I graduated UWO undergrad prior to IT classes.)

I was going into a technology program. Network specialist the course had not been updated seen 2012! It was 2018 at the time. Also I was correcting the instructor regularly.

A two year business degree from this place doesn’t amount to Jack Squat! Even after graduating nearly a decade ago! Don’t waste your time or your money here!

First off I have really enjoyed taking classes at FVTC. It is a great way to experience learning as a non-traditional student. But my latest experience is a bit disappointing.I just enrolled in a non-credited class on-line. In order to make a credit card payment I was directed to PayPass which I assumed was the same as PayPal. Much to my surprise I was charged a $3 service fee. I called FVTC to ask for a refund of the fee and I would pay by check or another way using my credit card. The customer service person said it was too late. This is a fee that goes directly to the PayPass company as a way to pay for the credit card processing services. FVTC does not incur any credit card processing charges.I feel bad for the students who have limited funds and are charged additional money to pay by credit card. Instead include the cost of paying by credit card as a higher registration fee and charge less for those paying by cash or check.

I filled out the an application for the FVTC and did all the requirements they asked me to do, I also spoke with the people who is in charge of that area and Mrs. Mountour spoke to me in an aggressive way and I did not get any help. In other hand, I called them and explained my situation and they hanged me without no help. This school should have people who help students to achieve their dreams and not let them go. What bad experience I got with the staff of Fox Valley Technical College. I will have to pay again filling another application in another school. 😠

John and his team of instructors are amazing!! If you are looking at starting a career as a truck driver or looking to get a CDL there is no better place. These guys will train you for real world situations and how to be an above average driver. None better!!!

Attending under the IT Network System Administration course. This school is an amazing place to pick up wherever you left off last. Instructors are extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and friendly. I would absolutely recommend FVTC to anyone looking to further their education.

I’m 35 year old male with 2 kids. I also served 8years in the US Army.I took there automotive program.I’m absolutely dissapointed I wasted my Post 9/11 Bill on this school. Seems like there auto program has its own rules. They do have a computer lab to do homework I. But there’s no one available to help you. So if you don’t ask in class your outta luck.Seems also like fair treatment is out the door here. If the instructor likes someone more then you, be prepared to wait. Because he will take all the time helping them and ignoring you in lab. Also I noticed that for tests and homework they’ll really cut others slack and not cut you a break. I went to the councilors about this and sat and talked with him for a good hour. I thought at least something would be done. NOPE. I tried calling to check and I was ignored. The second semester I had to actually see the dean to help something done. And even then the instructor knew I couldn’t do a thing so now that he knows I’m the one that went there he got even worse.Also I’m 35 I did my time cleaning up after others in the army I don’t want to have to come to school and clean up after them. You have some instructors (night) that seems like they don’t check there students. So when we come in the morning we get stuck scrubbing floors that they dirtied. It gets old fast.If you use the Post 9/11 Bill and something happens don’t think your going drop. If they mark you with a W instead of a F. Be prepared to pay it all back. And the instructors know this so it kinda seems like they torture you more.Don’t get me wrong there are some good instructors but since your stuck with one per semester there’s a huge risk you might get screwed out of your money also. My grades are A’s and B’s so don’t think I’m sore about that. I do feel these programs are set for 18 year olds.You make your own choice but I sure won’t waste any more money at this school.

BAD :( You dont want find a school shows you ignorance, they just dont care you. Once you got connected with the worker on the phone, they just put you on hold forever and they just makes you feel awkward if you speak fabulous English. They always said: yes. wait! No patience no nice attitude.Its hard to find one paid CDL Training school that you can trust, I finally chose this school as my first began. However, they are just quite busy have no time to call you telling you what you can start with your next step after completed application.I have been completed my application online about a week ago,after I completed it I call the school number. They said they will call me within 1-2days after I have completed my application online at Reohel school training website. And I was waiting for 2days then call them back, they said they have been received my application and they give me someones phone number who is going to tell me more detail about how I can start next step. His name is Adam. They said Adam will call me back too just about today or tomorrow. And then I called Adam, always leave voice message which its fine. I left 2messages but never call me back.I called back the main number try to speak And I am still waiting .....You spent more than 30 minutes to fill out the application and then you just wait for something wrong. Its wasting time here.I like driving thats why I want become a truck driver, but they dont like the job they are doing, you dont want start frustrate training journey.【Go to CRST】Im going to choose CRST, they kept contact me many times, very nice and open to help potential students. I didnt choose CRST CDL training at first time because the travel distance is too too far, it takes me drive 15 Hours to get there.Be cautious before making any decisions.Good luck! Everyone!

Communication, organization and efficiency are key things FVTC is lacking and would use the word - poor. With my years as a student at universities and other tech colleges I do give FVTC a thumbs down in comparison to NWTC, MATC, UWGB and UWL.to which I have attended throughout years.

Review №36

Spare your time and save your money, this school is extremely unorganized in each department and is basically operated by the same small handful of arrogant instructors that behave like gangstalkers who have no time to help and when they do, they humiliate you in class and make you feel incompetent which is an utter outrage especially since students are there to learn in the first place and if the targeted student speaks up about any unfortunate event it will result in un-traced grade lowering that the dean himself can not detect.Another thing to note, the materials that students have to buy are irrelevant to the curriculum; the instructors use the least secure public resources that it is no wonder why so many IT newbies struggle with assignment submission and is why I would never go back to this school.. such a waste and Not worth the Headache at the FVTC
