Florida Technical College - Lakeland Don't expect books for your studies, and don't expect help from the Dean, Eric Dennis 4715 S. Florida Avenue Florida

Tuition at Florida Technical College (FTC) includes books for thier accelerated programs (like the Billing and Coding program I'm enrolled in).  However, rarely does the school provide books on time.  The books are supposed to be provided the first day of class, but it's not uncommon to recieve them late.  For example, the reason I finally contacted Rip-Off report is because our classes are a month long.  My current class we are almost 2 week into and we're supposed to have our midterm exam in 2 day.  But, we can't study or even do homework because we STILL have not received our books!

Me and several other students have contacted the Dean, Eric Dennis, repeatedly for help getting books.  Today's response from him took the cake.  He advised me that there are "a few" books available, but that they would be given to the online students, not classroom students like me.  When I pressed him about how we're supposed to do homework or study or learn he stated "Well I guess your teacher will have to figure something out".  Kind of like sharing books in class and doing group tests That was the last straw for me.

I've since filed a complaint with the Dept. of Education for fraud, since I had to take out federal loans to finance my education with them, the Florida Board of Education, AICIS (FTC's accrediting agency), and the Central Florida Better Business Bureau.

I can't believe these people.  Unorganized and don't give a single s*** about your very expensive education.  They provide food every single class, but can't seem to procure books?  Give me a break.  Do yourself a favor and enroll elsewhere. Save yourself the headache and debt.
