Miller Motte Technical College MMTC School Lied about HVACR program. 95 Percent in class bookwork 5 Percent hands on. Lazy Instructors Madison Tennessee

 Please save your time and money if you want to enroll in the HVACR Program at Miller Motte Madison, TN. When I signed up for this school I was told 90% of the training I would receive was hands on and the other time would be spent on lecture and book material. I will tell you right now that is that is not the education I am currently receiving. I began classes there July of 2015 and I am still currently enrolled. I have 3 more courses left and one of them has nothing to do with the HVAC program. So I have the class I am taking now which is an HVAC course/EPA prep and one more HVAC course plus the professionalism course which again has nothing to do with the program I am in. That course is just to help you properly prepare a resume. Anyways I am so frustrated about how this program is run. I sit in that classroom day after day while the instructor/program director reads through each chapter almost word for word. I am like I am a grown adult I can read this myself and if I have questions I will ask them. I do all my homework on time and do pretty well on my tests. I confronted the program director about my concern several months ago stating I don't feel I am getting a proper education and I am disappointed with the lack of hands on. He told me that if everyone did their homework and turned it in on time we would be out in the shop more. My question is why am I being punished when I do all my work? And why are you not just marking these students who don't there their work with a 0 and moving on? This is college not grade school. I signed up for this school for the sole purpose of the hands on experience. Not to sit in a class room day after day and have you read to me. This field is all hands on so why aren't they training us with the proper skills and showing us how to use the tools and the meters? Why am I almost finished with this school and I feel inadequate. There is so much involved in HVAC work and they are trying to teach us out of a book how to do it. Why am I giving them money to read to me when I can clearly sit at home and do that. I am a kinesthetic learner and learn best by doing. This school is failing to properly instruct its students. They are graduating students who are ill-equipped and sending them on there way. working on Refrigeration, AC , and heating equipment can be very dangerous. Plus now you are handling refrigerants which is governed by the EPA because it can deplete our Ozone. This school is failing to properly train us to handle these refrigerants. Students aren't being taught how to add and remove refrigerants from a unit, how to use a set of gauges and take readings, how to take electrical readings with the meters, how to identify components in a system, how to read the electrical diagrams and show and explain where the wire go to and what they connect to. These instructors are there to teach this and they are failing to do that. I even went to the director of education and told her my concerns and she told me that this is an on going issue and she would talk to the instructors again. Stil nothing is being done. the one day we were actually in the shop they didn't have nitrogen so we could do a leak test. Why is this course allowed to be taught? The school is collecting all this money from students and not giving them the education they deserve. These instructors are not qualified to teach this program. I hope this school is investigated for their unethical practices. What they are doing is wrong and dishonest. There are other programs at this school that aren't like this. Welding, Electrical, Medical. Welding is in the shop most of the time. Electrical has a lot of hands on and I know medical is getting a lot of hands on also. It seems to be the HVAC program that is the problem. I say this because I don't want to criticize the whole school because of one bad apple on the bunch. But unfortunately the HVAC program is a reflection of the school in my opinion and 1 bad apple can spoil the rest. Anyways I plan on contacting consumer affairs and sharing this with them also. Something has to be done about this because it isn't fair to anyone who enrolled in the program.
