Northeast Technical Institute in Bangor ripped me off. I met with the admissions officer (Chad Leonard) to see about me taking a heatpump course. I made it understood that my employer would be paying for me to take the class. He said that was fine, and then took my employer contact information. I have several years of installation and refrigeration repair experience. But I was interested in learning about the electronics (the pcb/motherboard and ohming out components). At that time, we decided that it would be best for me to meet the instructor at the very beginning of the first class to see if it would be a useful class for me. When that first day of class began, I had a good conversation with the instructor. We decided that the class was for beginners and that I wouldn't gain much from it. I thanked everyone at the Institute and went home. Flash forward a couple of months, and I receive a notice from a bill collector that I owe them $160 for my account balance at Northeast Technical Institute. Don't ask me why the bill collector came after me instead of NTI. So I phoned NTI and asked them what this was all about. They said that I owed $60 for enrolling and $100 for withdrawing from the class. Firstly, I was not informed that I was actually either enrolling or withdrawing. Secondly, and more importantly, they never told me that I or my employer would be billed for these things. And nowhere on NTI's webpage does it say anything about these things. read more

I just completed the HVAC course at NTI Bangor and I am not impressed. The hands on part of the class 1/2 of your hours is barely worth showing up for, no lesson plan the instructors just make it up as they go. The "practicum" tests are a joke my instructor was on his phone the whole time I was doing my EPA 608 test, they will pass anyone. The classroom half is just as bad. The answers to all test are given right before you take them and scores are self reported, I could just tell the instructor I got a 100 and he marks it. They also coach you through your certification tests the "proctors" there to prevent cheating will in fact give you the answers just so you pass. They hook you in with promises of jobs then fudge all the numbers to make themselves look good. The last week they just gave up entirely and we just watched youtube videos not even related to the field. I could go on about what a scam this place is this review dos not even scratch the surface. read more
