They kept reminding us why we were there and the reason of being there. #Mr.P makes you understand the way he teaches. He made sure it gets stuck to our brain. #JustinDamaso was one of my resource. He explained the course when no one could. He was always willing to help out even after school hours. He explained step by step in order for us to get it . Overall, I enjoyed going to school with my friends after being out of school for so many years. "We finished strong". The school offer hands on training. #IvanMelchor keeps in touch with me after I'm done with school to make sure we get the career that I want. I really recommend it.

My experience with San Joaquin Valley College was very wonderful. I know that I did the classes to…read morethe best of my abilities with help from the instructors (both ground and online). The staff on the campus are very supportive, even the maintenance members were polite and motivating. This campus offers so much hands on training. I was in the Business Administration program and it was not the typical boring classes. Coming to the campus, I was very shy, but the class has broke me out of the shell to be ready to go out into the working world to be confident and knowledgeable. San Joaquin Valley College inspired me with their motivation and support to help new students at orientation and in class so they do not feel nervous or alone. SJVC also prepared me on how to be professional. The classes were challenging because it was at a fast pace, but the picture in my mind of graduating and being proud of myself, kept me motivated to keep on going. I feel great on entering and finishing with this campus, I came out a new different person from when I first began. I know the support from San Joaquin Valley College will still be there even after graduation.

I graduated from IOT's HVAC program in June of 2026…read more I'll try and keep it as short and to the point as possible. To start to all my fellow veterans DO NOT waste your hard earned GI bill on this place there are better options and you can't get it back. This place is a welfare to work school through and through. As a guy who just got out of the Marines as a mechanic I was looking to get into HVAC and IOT had openings in the program at the time I was looking, they have a pretty solid administration office that sells the school and program to you and give you a sense of professionalism when you do your initial tour. Once you sign the papers and start classes is when you see the reality. To keep it short roughly 90% of your fellow students will be welfare sponsored by what's called workforce connection hence a vast majority don't even want to be there, scroll on their phone all day, barely show up throughout the course. Basically If you show up a few times and type a "1-2 sentences on what you've learned" for each assignment you'll pass, I had a kid in the class that showed up pretty much only for the finals and still graduated with no issues. The staff even made jokes about how bad his attendance was but obviously no one cared enough to ensure there was a professional environment where standards were held for the education and student conduct. I also had an incident where my property was stolen in the lab by a fellow student and luckily I caught him and when confronted he threatened to fight me. Im an adult and not going to partake in foolish activities especially at what's supposed to be a professional education center and followed the proper chain of command for reporting the incident and was ensured it wouldn't be "brushed under the rug" and it would be "properly dealt with" long story short nothing happened with the student, no repercussions happened and he was allowed to continue on like normal and graduated a few weeks later. There was also multiple threats and warnings posted due to other students who were attending this institution. There is no accountability to uphold a safe and professional learning environment from the directors whatsoever. Lastly to wrap it up and hit all the main points I'll give some credit from my personal experience with the staff and say the administrative office does a great job at helping you through the enrollment process, the girls at the front desk are extremely helpful and great at their job, the instructors are good people but you can tell some of them are just there for a paycheck and there's not really a lot of learning that will occur. I had multiple weeks where sometimes we didn't even know who was supposed to be the instructor/substitution for the day because they were absent and us students would sit for hours in class doing nothing until the school scrambled up someone to "sit in" on the class. The school really is just submitting your elementary style homework on an E-textbook and taking the quiz at the end of the week. I will say though Mr. Markus does a great job of instructing in person in the labs and the labs seemed to be improving towards the last few weeks of my time at IOT before graduating since he took some feedback from the students and implemented it into the lab work. I also would like to give credit to Jonathan in career services who does come into the class and try and get to know some of the students and potentially help them in their search for a career. There is a lot of downtime that could be used for instruction and learning where people are typically sitting on their phones, the environment feels more like a high school then it does a college, there is no accountability or expectation for professionalism and safety, you'll walk away from here with a few certs you could have paid a couple hundred bucks instead of 20k+ to take online that you need about a day to study for (the school uses the same courses and tests you can do by yourself online and drags it out over 5 week intervals). If it were up to me I would say look elsewhere for better opportunities, but that's really just my opinion based off my personal experience.

This is a must stop on the art hop. It is not a traditional gallery but more of a Community center…read more I was greeted by the president, Scott on my way in and it was nice enough to introduce himself. The concept he explained to me is the following. Think of it as a gym membership but for art. You pay a monthly fee, come up with what you want to learn and bring your materials. There are great teachers to guide you and certify you at just about anything. They have a glass blowing, clay, woodwork and even a 3D printer. It was impressive that everyone we met there somehow chips in to help with the training of your art production of choice and once you are certified, you are able to use the machines with minimal supervision. A stellar idea and my wife will be checking out their classes soon
