Before I go on my rant I would like to point out that I am not one of those know it all kids when I started at Wyotech I knew how to MIG weld and that's about it.That being said I did get a very basic idea of how to work in a collision shop.I put everything I had into learning and got very little in return. I graduated from the Laramie campus back in September and in my opinion with the exception of a few things in the street rod program it was a waste of time and money. I could have learned the same stuff at my local community college which I will be attending next term and in comparison I will save roughly $10,000,get an associates degree in applied sciences and will come out with 2yrs of experience. With Wyotech there is no degree unless you take the ASM class which in realty is only good for managing a collisin shop and not much good any where else. Wyotechs housing is a joke I opted for the more expensive rooms with 4 rooms I got stuck with 3 idiots and had to move out as soon as i could, the rooms were dirty when I moved in, and when you check out to leave they charge you for every bit of damage even if you write it down on yor damage check list ( out of my $250 deposit I got nothing back even though the housing director checked my room out and said it was all good). I would highly suggest looking at community colleges before you sign up for Wyotech. This is just a few of the many things that are wrong with Wyotech. They may have been a good school in the past but today they are all about money, I had 83 students in my street rod class paying upwards of $8,500 for a 3 month class you do the math. If any one wants to know anything else I will be glad to tell you more.

If you're interested in learning on how to tuck in your shirt, or the importance of being on time, by all means, pay your money and get down to Daytona. If, however, your interested in learning how to repair and service motorcycles, I suggest you look elsewhere. I will say, the instructors were more than knowllegable. The administrators, on the other hand, were an abomination. They cared much more about following their rules than teaching you anything about motorcycles. They claim an 80% placement rate, which is a load of crap. I stay in touch with many of my former classmates, and hardly any of them are working in the motorcycle field. When I finally did get hired, despite making Honor Roll on several occasions, I was barely able to perform at a decent level. Basically, if you show up on time, look neat, and pay on time, you're guarenteed a passing grade.
