Arizona Automotive Institute This school is a joke, over priced garbage education. Glendale, Arizona

I entered into the combination welding course at AAI on 11/09. After a short time of attending classes I realized this school is a joke. The instructors are incompetent, rude, and treat the students like dirt. The welding program is a waste of time & money. The certification they offer is thru the NCCER Nationa Center for Construction Education and Research. In the real world of welding this certification is a joke. Real welding certification comes from the AWS. American Welding Society. So AAI is charging students over $ 17,000 for a garbage education. The work books were full of errors. Even the instructor was saying the books were crap. The welding lab is a joke. It's too small not enough equipment, and your rushed through your assignment. Most of the other students in this school are drunks, and drug addicts. It wasn't uncommon to find empty beer cans in the bathroom. This place makes you feel like your on a prison yard. Has every thing but the gun tower. I filed a complaint with BBB but it's like talking to a wall. The Better Business Bureau is a joke also. They collect money from the very places that you may file a complaint with. So it's the fox guarding the hen house. I'm going to contact several media sources, and see if they would do a story about this joke of a school. I'm so glad I droped out before my student loans got huge. I wouldn't recommend this school to any body. Stay away from AAI.
