Don't waste your time or money. I went into this school with high hope's and every excited to start training for HVAC. Not even a month into it and I was regretting and dragging my feet to in everyday. My 1st instructor taught use more about his personal life then the actual subject. Didnt follow the way he was supposed to teach us whiched caused a big issue for those who were going to go into the next class. He passed everyone regardless. Had a motor project and passed us all even though none of us got the motor to work. He didnt really even try to get it running. You don't learn in the traditional way. You don't learn from A-Z. They will throw you in wherever the class is currently at. So you maybe learning the very end of the book before you even learn the beginning of the book which is bad if you are completely new to the subject and don't have any knowledge or experience. You don't jump into HVAC right away which is normal. You'll be doing electrical theory but my instructor didn't even go over HVAC electrical. I was learning more how to be an electrician then HVAC technician. Once I got into HVAC I was told in was going to take my certification test at the end of that month. Which is beyond stupid. They gave me a study packet to help prepare me for the test. By the time I had to take the test I failed of course but wasnt worried. Was told i had 3 attempts to take the test. The very next day after I took the 1st test i was told to take it again, and again I failed. The day after the 2nd test I was told to take it again and use the study packet because the head of the campus wants us to pass. Probably to give him a bonus or something like that. Well I'm not going to pay them to cheat on my future. I tried to talk them but the head of the campus "wasn't in today". I tired to call and kept going in to talk to him about why they wanted me to cheat. But kept getting the same response. I called them and told them I was dropping out because the cheating was the last straw. Then it seemed like they actually cared about my problem. I finally got calls back from the school and told them why I was leaving but the lady seemed not to really be paying attention and wanted me to go in and sit down with the head of the campus. I wasn't going to waste my time with them anymore. Said in was going to go in but didn't. I told them about it and they didn't seem to care until I left. read more

I started attending Intercoast college in spring of 2017. Before the initial start date, I spoke to the guidance counselor, Linelle, to look at my options, I specifically told her I wanted a course that was hands on, and that I wasnt looking for a class where I had to "catch-up" with the lectures. Thats exactly what happened! Right off the bat out of the 20 people in the class everyone knew each other and knew the basics of the program while 3, including myself, were actually NEW and clueless. We ended up doing hands-on lectures 5 days out of the whole time I attended. The teacher I had, Craig, would have the class watch electricity videos off of YOUTUBE for the whole 4 hours that we were there weeks at a time, not once touching the books given to us. Whats the point of paying a school to show me youtube videos when I can easily do that for free in the accommodation of my home. This would be nice if We were back in High School, but remind you I am actually paying the school for teaching me what I need to know to perform well in my career and also sacrificing leisure time since i work 9-10 hour shifts. I weighed it out and stayed there for about 2 months. I spoke with the office personnel plenty of times concerning the matter and the only answer i would get was "the class will get better." For some reason the class changed teachers to an older gentlemen, Mr. Barber. He would read the electricity books to us chapter by chapter the whole class, again weeks at a time without doing anything else. Eventually, the class and I realized he wasnt a reliable teacher since he didnt know how to explain any topic, how to help us out with any questions, and when he tried to answer questions he would go off topic and start discussing something that had nothing to do with what was originally said. The whole class took him as a joke and stopped paying attention. In all this nonsense, Each month that passed new students would come in playing catch up to what was already taught, while the students there for a while moved up to different classrooms. The cycle repeated itself every month. I finally completed the course in the first classroom and moved up to the second. Again, I had to play catch up since the course was already started. The course was so advanced that even the teacher let me know that I should speak to the counselor if I could take a break while the class finishes and come back when he starts the course from zero. I spoke to the principal of the school to see if I can do that, and of-course he denied my request. He followed up by telling me "not to worry, no matter what i will definitely pass the course." I was confused on what he meant by that? So even if i pass or fail my exams ill still complete the course? That made no sense to me. I ended up dropping the course after 4 months, the school teachers, counselor, and principal were no help at all. They all smile in your face trying to convince you to attend their college ONLY to take your money. The only good thing I got from the school was having the chance to meet people older and younger than me being in the same situation as myself or sometimes worse. I met many people that were trying to learn and get a good paying career but end up dropping the course because the classes are terrible. read more

Intercoast College of Fairfield is the best choice I've ever made. The staff was very kind and helpful with my journey.

Amazing staffing, amazing teachers, great opportunity for your future

This is an update to my prior situation that I had going on, although I lost time attending InterCoast I did get a few things out of attending that I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere which was specific group of people that I was able to form friendships with through the troublesome times we banned together an for that we all still stay in touch. However on the financial end of things Intercoast did come thru, and make my what seemed to be financial lost back right again. For this result I personally thank the one man I know that truly cares for the students, an has done everything in his power to make things right and that Justin. So Justin I thank you for that, your a good man with an honest heart. I hope the cast around you can follow your lead an try to understand and relate to the students more in the future. So the stars one was for the band of guys I now call friends, one for the financial correction on Intercoasts part and lastly one for the VP Justin for being straightforward, honest, relatable, and understanding. I don't regret or take back the things I said I'm simply saying if you choose this trust your gut feeling on how you feel. An if you go through with it hope that Justin is there cause he's one to have in your corner. Intercoast may not have been for me especially at that time or even at all but that doesn't mean it cant be for you.. just trust your gut and read the small print. Go figure I actually won more than I lost. Good luck! read more

There is more than one person who has "went the extra mile" for me and I cannot just pick one, Hence this paper that is attached to the survey. 1. Justin: If it were not for Justin being at Heald College when it closed I would have never heard of this school. He also gave me information about the school that had me really excited to come and be a student here. 2. Tina: Tina has been amazing and helped make sure that I had everything that I needed and stayed on top of everything. Especially on reminding me about my make-up hours. 3. Melissa: I have not really spent as much time with Melissa as I have Tina but every time I have asked her for help she was always there. Especially when I had assignments were due and the printer in the lab was not working, she would come in and fix it like it's nothing. Such a life-saver and a grade saver! 4. Nicole: Even though she is not at this location anymore she still had did a lot for me especially making sure that my paperwork for my stuff was done. She is one of the few people that have called me to give me reminders about things that needed to be done or that were going to be due. 5. Carrie: Is another person that is not here anymore but she helped keep me on my game and Took care of anything for me that I needed help with. It sucks that she's not here to hear this but she is truly amazing. 6. Carla: I have not really done too many things with Karla but she was still very nice and had answers to questions that others did not or at least were not sure of. And she would always say hi to me when she seen me. 7. Mrs. Heather: Awesomely amazing teacher!!!! Made class very enjoyable and fun to learn. There are a lot of good memories that I will never forget. She was like one of us just not as a student haha. She also never gave up on any of us and would do anything she could to help us and make sure that we all passed the class. 8. Mrs. Raynor: Another awesomely amazing teacher who loved her students and loved teaching us all. I will say her class felt a little harder but it was still very enjoyable and fun. Just like Mrs. Heather she never gave up on her students and would do anything that she could to make sure that we all pass her class. Overall everyone here at this school is amazing. Thank you for making education fun and exciting. I really enjoyed my time here, and who knows maybe I'll come back and do another program! I love you all. read more
